sardiyon ke mausam mein pichhli raat ko chhat par
hum jo ek duje se chandni ki barish mein

be-zaban jazbon ki khushbuon se milte the
husn-e-dilruba tera lafz ki haqiqat se kitna be-talluq tha

an-kaha suna sab kuchh lamha-e-masarrat tha
jab se lab-kushai ke silsile hue jari

teri meri bahson ne
an-kaha suna sab kuchh

mantiqon dalilon ke wahimon se gadlaya
aur phir mohabbat ke sab gulab sanwlae

aaj ajnabiyyat ki be-samar fazaon mein
hum ki ek duje se kitne be-talluq hain

awwalin rifaqat ki sari khaslaten kho kar
is bisat-e-hasti par

sirf do payaade hain
