ab tak iss nadan dil ko main samjha na paya

woh kuch palon ka hi saath main bhula na paya,
apne man ke aaine se unka chehra mita na paya,

maine wada kiya tha har lamha muskarane ka,
iss liye unki yaad mein aanshu bhi baha na paya,

dil dhakta hai mera ab bhi unke hi naam ke saath,
ab tak iss nadan dil ko main samjha na paya,

maksad-e-zindagi meri ban gayi hai woh,
woh chale gaye magar yeh baat apne dil ko bata na paya,

ussi mord pe tannha khada hai “raaj” intezaar mein,
jis mord pe kabhi main aarzu-e-dil dikha na paya.
