Daro-deewar pe shakleN-si banane aaii
Phir ye barish meri tanhaaii churane aaii.

Zindgi baap ki manind sazaa deti hai
Raham-dil maaN kii tarah maut bachane aaii.

Aajkal phir dile-betaab kii bateN haiN wahi
Hum to samjhe the ke kuchh akl thikane aaii.

Dil meiN aahat-si hui, rooh mein dastak guNjii
Kiski khushboo mujhe ye mere sirhane aaii.

Maine jab pehle-pehal apna watan chhoda tha
Door tak mujhko ik aawaaz bulane aaii.

Teri manind teri yaad bhi zalim nikli
Jab bhi aaii hai, mera dil hi dukhane aaii.
