sach bolna chahen bhi to bola nahin jata

main mahal ret ke sahra mein banane baiTha

hamare chehre pe ranj-o-malal aisa tha

dariche so gae shab jagti hai

ji raha hun main udasi bhari taswir ke sath

chaha hai jis ka saya shajar wo babul hai

ba-waqt-e-sham samundar mein gir gaya suraj

tum bahr-e-mohabbat ke kinare pe khaDe the

thi uski band muTThi mein chiTThi dabi hui

dil KHak hua pyar ki is aag mein jal kar
