Chehraa meraa thaa nigaahe.n us kii,
Khaamushii me.n bhii vo baate.n us kii,

mere chehare pe Gazal likhatii ga_ii.n,
sher kahatii hu_ii aa.Nkhe.n us kii,

shoKh lamho.n kaa pataa dene lagii.n,
tez hotii hu_ii saa.Nse.n us kii ,

aise mausam bhii guzaare ham ne,
subahe.n jab apanii thii.n shaame.n us kii,

dhyaan me.n us ke ye aalam thaa kabhii,
aa.Nkh mahataab kii yaade.n us kii,

faisalaa mauj-e-havaa ne likkhaa,
aa.Ndhiyaa.N merii bahaare.n us kii,

niind is soch se TuuTii aksar,
kis tarah kaTatii hai.n raate.n us kii,

duur rah kar bhii sadaa rahatii hai,
mujh ko thaame hue baahe.n us kii.
