jaane kya baat hui thi jo mujhe yaad nahin
raat ka pahla qadam tha ki wo tha pichhla pahar

chaude darwaze se nikli thi wo masum sahar
ek dastak sunai di thi ya tha mera wahm

gungunati hui khamoshi thi ya mera bharam
nind chaunki thi ya khwabon ke sanam tute the

ek dhundli si shakl yaad hai ab bhi mujh ko
gandumi rang pe judwan se sunahri shishe

rasta khoe se hairan farishton jaise
apni palkon mein sadaqat ka shor thame hue

jhil se gahri aqidat ki dor thame hue
tak rahi hain mujhe yaksan take jati hain

yaad aai thin wo jagi hui aankhen kal raat
koi kah de to sahi pichhle janam jhute the
