kabhi faslon ki masafaton pe ubur ho to ye kah sukun
mera jurm hasrat-e-qurb hai to yahi kami yahan sab mein hai

chup hi ki talqin kare hai ghairat-mand zamir hamein

main to har dhup mein sayon ka raha hun juya
mujh se likhwai sarabon ki kahani tum ne

meri aankhon hi mein the an-kahe pahlu us ke
wo jo ek baat suni meri zabani tum ne
