KHushk putli se koi surat na Thahrai gai

KHushk putli se koi surat na Thahrai gai
aankh se aansu gae meri ki binai gai

subh-dam kya DhunDte ho shab-rawon ke naqsh-e-pa
jab se ab tak bar-ha mauj-e-saba aai gai

ro raha hun har purani chiz ko pahchan kar
jaane kis ki ruh mere rup mein lai gai

mutmain ho dekh kar tum rang-e-taswir-e-hayat
phir wo shayad wo nahin jo mujh ko dikhlai gai

chalte chalte kan mein kis ki sada aane lagi
yun laga jaise meri barson ki tanhai gai

hum ki apni rah ka patthar samajhte hain use
hum se jaane kis liye duniya na Thukrai gai
