kaisi kaisi thin unhi galiyon mein zeba suraten
yaad ek ek moD pe aati hain kya kya suraten
nim-shab hote hain wa jis dam dariche yaad ke
kis ada se jhankti hain ab wo raana suraten
suraten kuchh dekh kar aisa bhi aata tha KHayal
KHak se aisi kahan hoti hain paida suraten
luT kar pahle-pahal aae the jab us shahr se
ajnabi lagti thin aankhon ko shanasa suraten
aaj tak wo dil ki diwaron pe kanda hain 'bashir'
phir nazar aaen nahin jo mah-sima suraten
Ghazal
Kaisi kaisi thin unhi galiyon mein zeba suraten
