Woh hijr thehra, Visaal thehra
Kya aadmi tha kamaal thehra
Afsurdgi k her ik nagar mein
Woh qehqahon ki misaal thehra
Woh kis ki khatir guzar geya hai
Sab ki khaatir sawaal thehra
Haan us k lehje ki taazgi se
Jo khawb tha woh khayal thehra
Kahan se laain rafeeq tujh sa
Mohabbaton mein zawaal thehra
Tu ne hum ko yeh dukh diya hai
K ab to jeena muhaal thehra. . .

Kitabon mein mere fasaane dhundhte hain
Nadaan hain, guzre zamane dhundhte hain
Jab woh the, talaash-e-zindagi bhi thi
Ab to maut ke thikane dhoondhte hain
Kal khud hi apni mehfil se nikala tha
Aaj hue se diwane dhundhte hain
Musafir bekhabar hain teri aankhon se
Tere shahar me maykhane dhoondhte hain
Tujhe kya pata E-sitam dhaane wale
Tere diye zakhmon me pyar ke nazraane dhoondhte hain
nikal aate hain ashq hanste hanste
hum to rone ke bahane dhoondhte hain
