us ki aankhon mein thi gahrai bahut
kyun satati hai ye tanhai bahut

hijr ki saughat kya lai bahut
be-tahasha yaad bhi aai bahut

pech-o-kham zulfon ka sara khul gaya
raat bhar aankhon mein lahrai bahut

kyun chamak uthti hai bijli bar bar
ai sitamgar le na angdai bahut

ghar se 'sahil' aa ke lauti dhup kya
ho gai meri to ruswai bahut
