Samay samay kii Khalish me.n teraa malaal rahe ,
judaa_iiyo.n me.n bhii yuu.N aalam-e-visaal rahe ,

anaa kii jang me.n ham jiit to gaye lekin ,
phir us ke baad bahut der tak niDhaal rahe ,

raah-e junuu.N me.n yahii zaad-e-raah hotaa hai ,
ke justajuu ba.De divaanagii bahaal rahe ,

hasii.n raate.n bhii mahke.n tumhaarii yaado.n se ,
ka.De dino.n me.n bhii pal pal teraa Khayaal rahe ,

tuu ek baar zaraa kishtiyaa.N jalaa to sahii ,
hai kyaa majaal ke ek lamhaa bhii zavaal rahe .
