Kitni mushkil se bahot der manaane ke ba’ad

Kitni mushkil se bahot der manaane ke ba’ad
Chaand nikla hai kayi jugnoo dikhaane ke ba’ad

Tu samajhta hai gulaabo’n se mehekta hai khat ?
Khushboo milti nahi alfaaz mitaane ke ba’ad

Champayi dhoop tere vasl ki khatir kab se
Kaliyaa’n betaab hain shabnam se nahaane ke ba’ad

Kab talak kaun kisey yaad kiye phirta hai
Mit hi jaati hain sabhi yaadein zamaane ke ba’ad

Maujo’n ke darmiyaa’n haatho’n ka hunar kaam aaya
Main kinaarey laga patwaar ganvaane ke baad

Jis ne chheeni hai parindo’n ki sabhi aazadi
Taaliyaa’n peet’ta hai titli udaane ke ba’ad

Pyaar parvaan hi chadhta hai khule aangan mein
Bhai chara gaya deewar uthaane ke ba’ad
