ab wo aankhon ke shagufe hain na chehron ke gulab
ek manhus udasi hai ki miTti hi nahin
itni be-rang hain ab rang ki KHugar aankhen
jaise is shahr-e-tamanna se koi rabt na tha
jaise dekha tha sarab
dekh leta hun agar koi shanasa chehra
ek lamhe ko use dekh ke ruk jata hun
sochta hun ki baDhun aur koi baat karun
us se tajdid-e-mulaqat karun
lekin us shaKHs ki manus gurezan nazren
mujh ko ehsas dilati hain ki ab us ke liye
main bhi anjaan hun, ek aam tamashai hun
rah chalte hue in dusre logon ki tarah
