yun na jaan ashk hamein jo gaya bana na mila
dur le jae jo mujh se koi aisa na mila

khali hath ab ke guzarne na di pedon ne basant
patjhad aai to kisi shakh pe patta na mila

apna saya hi daraata ho to kis se kahiye
kahiye kis munh se ki kis ko koi apna na mila

aaina dekhne thahre to nazar kanp gai
aur jo aks hamin ko hamein aisa na mila

aankh mein dariya liye phirte rahe barson tak
jis ke sine mein utar jata wo sahra na mila

dar khula tha to hawa pyar liye aai thi
band hai to use bahar koi apna na mila

apna hi jism badal jaega kab ilm tha 'ashk'
utthe to kal jahan soe the wo kamra na mila
