Baadbaan khulane se pahale kaa ishaaraa dekhanaa
main samandar dekhatii huun tum kinaaraa dekhanaa

yuun bichhaDanaa bhii bahut aasaan na thaa us se magar
jaate jaate us kaa vo mud ke dubaaraa dekhanaa

kis shabaahat ko liye aayaa hai daravaaze pe chaand
ai shab-e-hijraan zaraa apanaa sitaaraa dekhanaa

aaiine kii aankh hii kuchh kam na thii mere liye
jaane ab kyaa kyaa dikhaayegaa tumhaaraa dekhanaa
