ye jo ek shakh hai hari thi abhi
us jagah par koi pari thi abhi

sar-basar rang-o-nur se labrez
ek surahi yahan dhari thi abhi

khak kaisi hai mere panw tale
sat rangon ki ek dari thi abhi

is kharabe mein koi aur bhi hai
aah kis ne yahan bhari thi abhi

saneha koi yan se guzra hai
ye faza kyun dari dari thi abhi

main basata tha us ke dil mein ghar
aur qismat mein be-ghari thi abhi

kyun na karte hum us ki dildari
us mein kuchh khu-e-dilbari thi abhi
