wo koi aur na tha chand Khushk patte the

wo koi aur na tha chand Khushk patte the

shajar se tut k jo fasl-e-gul pe roye the

abhi abhi tumhain socha to kuch na yad aya

abhi abhi to ham ek-dusare se bichre the

tumhare bad chaman par jab ik nazar dali

kali kali main Khizan k chirag jalate the

tamam umr wafa ke gunahgar rahe

ye aur bat ki ham adami to ache the

shab-e-Khamosh ko tanhai ne zaban de di

pahar gunjte the dasht sansanate the

wo ek bar mare jin ko tha hayat se pyar

jo zindagi se gurezan the roz marte the

naye Khayal ab ate hain dhal ke zahan main

hamare dil main kabhi khet lahlahate the

ye irtiqa ka chalan hai k har zamane main

purane log naye admi se darte the

'Nadeem' jo bhi mulaqat thi adhuri thi

k ek chehre ke piche hazar chehre the
