aaj qasid ko idhar se jo guzarte dikha
mujh ko aisa laga jaise ki tera khat aaya

tu nahin phir bhi chala karti hai duniya meri
ab to mahsus nahin hoti kabhi teri kami

jaane dahliz pe utra tha wo kis ka saya
yun laga jaise ki apna koi wapas aaya

tu mujhe yaad na aae kabhi aisa na hua
phir bhi ro ro ke guzar hota ho ye bhi na hua

jaane kya soch ke in aankhon mein aansu aae
aaj nazuk se kai lamhe mujhe yaad aaya

aaj qasid ko idhar se jo guzarte dekha
mujh ko aisa laga jaise ki tera khat aaya
