Patthar sulag rahe the koii naqsh-e-paaa na thaa
ham us taraf chale the jidhar raastaa na thaa

parchhaaiyon ke shahar kii tanhaaiiyaaN na puuchh
apanaa shariik-e-Gham koii apane sivaa na thaa

yuun dekhatii hai gumshudaa lamhon ke mod se
is zindagii se jaise koii vaastaa na thaa

cheharon pe jam gaii thiin Khayaalon kii ulajhanen
lafzon kii justajuu men koii bolataa na thaa

Khurshiid kyaa ubhaarate dil kii tahon se ham
is anjuman men koii saharaashanaa na thaa
