Actress

thartharaati rahi charagh ki lau
ashk palkon pe kanp kanp gae

koi aansu na ban saka tara
shab ke sae nazar ko Dhanp gae

kaT gaya waqt muskurahaT mein
qahqahe ruh ko pasand na the

wo bhi aanhken chura gae aaKHir
dil ke darwaze jin pe band na the

saunp jata hai mujh ko tanhai
jis pe dil e'tibar karta hai

banti jati hun naKHl-e-sahrai
tu ne chaha to main ne man liya

ghar ko bazar kar diya main ne
bech kar apni ek ek umang

tujh ko zardar kar diya main ne
apni be-chaargi pe ro ro kar

dil tujhe yaad karta rahta hai
qahqahon ke siyah ujale mein

jism fariyaad karta rahta hai
