har gam sambhal sambhal rahi thi
yaado.n ke bhanwar mei.n chal rahi thi
sanche mei.n KHabar ke Dhal rahi thi
ek KHwab ki lau se jal rahi thi
shabnam si lagi jo dekhne mai.n
patthar ki tarah pighal rahi thi
rudad safar ki puchhte ho
mai.n KHwab me.in jaise chal rahi thi
kaifiyat-e-intizar-e-paiham
hai aaj wahi jo kal rahi thi
thi harf-e-dua si yaad us ki
zanjir-e-firaq gal rahi thi
kaliyo.n ko nishan-e-rah dikha kar
mahki hui raat Dhal rahi thi
logo.n ko pasand laghzish-e-pa
aise mei.n ada sambhal rahi thi
