sabz maddham roshani men surKh aaNchal ki dhanak
sard kamare men machalatii garm saaNson kii mahak
baazuuon ke sakht halqe men ko_i naazuk badan
silvaTen malabuus par aaNchal bhii kuchh Dhalakaa huaa
garmii-e-ruKhsaar se dahaki hu_i ThaanDii havaa
narm zulfon se mulaayam uNgaliyon kii chheD chhaaD
surKh honThon par sharaarat ke kisi lamhen kaa aks
reshami baahon men chuuDi ki kabhi maddham dhanak
sharmagin lahajon men dhire se kabhi chaahat ki baat
do dilon ki dhaDakanon men guuNjati thi ek sadaa
kaaNpate honThon pe thi allaah se sirf ek duaa
kaash ye lamhe Thahar jaayen Thahar jaayen zaraa
