wo unhein yaad karein jisane bhulaaya ho kabhi

hamane unako na bhulaaya na kabhi yaad kiya



paara paara hua pairaahan-e-jaan

phir mujhe chhod gaye chaaraagaraan



koyi aahat, na ishaara, na saraab

kaisa viraan hai ye dasht-e-imkaan



vaqt ke sog mein lamhon ka juluus

jaise ik qaafilaa-e-nauhaagaraan



chaar-suu kaaq udaati hai hawa

astaraan, kaabaataraan, teg-e-ravaan



kaise ghabaraaye huye phirate hain

tere mohataaz tere dil-gazadaan
