Bahte daryaa meN utar jana tha

Khaak the aur bikhar jana tha

Us se bichhRe to zamaanaa beeta

Ab talak zakhm ko bhar jana tha

Maan letaa huN tujhe hi manzil!!

Ab kahaaN yaad kidhar jana tha

Hausle ham ne bachakar rak_khe

Jab hameN had se guzar jana tha

Jaan !!! is hijr pe ronaa kaisa!!!

Ek din yuN bhi to mar jana tha
