dua ka toota hu’aa harf sard aah mein hai

duaa kaa TuuTaa hu’aa harf sard aah meN hai

terii juda’ii kaa manzar abhii nigaah meN hai


tere badalne ke baa-vajuud tujhko chaahaa hai

ye ai’tiraaf bhii shaamil mere gunaah meN hai


azaab degaa tou phir mujhko Khwaab bhii degaa

maiN mutma’iin huN, meraa dil terii panaah meN hai


jise bahaar ke mehmaan Khaalii chhoR gaye

vo ek makaan abhii tak makiiN kii chaah meN hai

yahii vo din the jab ek duusre ko paaya thaa

hamaarii saalgiraah thiik ab ke maah meN hai


maiN bach bhii jaauuN tou tanhaa’ii maar daalegii

mere qabiilaa ka har fard, qatl-gaah meN hai
