ham to āsān samajhte the ki rasta kam thā

is masāfat meñ mohabbat kā ilāqa kam thā

yuuñ to dīvār ke pahlū meñ khaḌe the ham bhī

dhuup aisī thī ki dīvār kā saaya kam thā

kaisā lamha thā ki ham tark-e-safar kar baiThe

ḳhvāb kam the na tire ġham kā asāsa kam thā

qāmat-e-husn meñ saanī hī nahīñ thā us kā

shar-e-be-faiz tirā zauq-e-tamāshā kam thā

ik ta.alluq thā jo TuuTā hai ki ham TuuTe haiñ

phir bhī lagtā hai ki ham ne use chāhā kam thā
