wo ek rup tha mera jo tum ne dekha tha
main tah-ba-tah tha ba-juz tah ke darmiyan kya tha

main dasht-e-bul-hawasi mein jahan gira thak kar
wahan se dur bahut dur mera saya tha

nichod lo mujhe paikar jo dekhna ho mera
main qatra qatra tha us dam bhi jabki dariya tha

main aaftab liye sar pe jis ghadi pahuncha
tamam hashr ke maidan mein andhera tha

mere ye ghar mein kahan aa ke kho gaya sahra
main jab chala tha mere sath sath sahra tha

lahu lahu tha hum ahl-e-qalam ka dil yun to
hamare zehn ka har ghaw dil se gahra tha
