Kab tak is pyas ke sahra mein jhulaste jaen

kab tak is pyas ke sahra mein jhulaste jaen
ab ye baadal jo uThe hain to baraste jaen

kaun batlae tumhein kaise wo mausam hain ki jo
mujh se hi dur rahen mujh mein hi baste jaen

hum se aazad-mizajon pe ye uftad hai kya
chahte jaen use KHud ko taraste jaen

hae kya log ye aabaad hue hain mujh mein
pyar ke lafz likhen lahje se Daste jaen

aaina dekhun to ek chehre ke be-rang nuqush
ek nadida si zanjir mein kaste jaen

juz mohabbat kise aaya hai mayassar 'ummid'
aisa lamha ki jidhar sadiyon ke raste jaen
