Khushbuu jaise log mile afsaane meN,
ek puraana Khat kholaa anjaane meN,
jaane kis kaa zikr hai is afsaane meN,
dard maze letaa hai jo duhraane meN,
shaam ke saaye baalishtoN se naape haiN,
chaaNd ne kitnii der lagaa dii aane meN,
raat guzarte shaayad thoRaa vaqt lage,
zaraa sii dhuup uNdel mere paimaane meN,
dil par dastak dene ye kaun aayaa hai,
kis kii aahat suntaa huN viirane meN.
