sahrā ko dariyā samjhā thā

maiñ bhī tujh ko kyā samjhā thā

haath chhuḌā kar jaane vaale

maiñ tujh ko apnā samjhā thā

phir jā.ūñgā apnī zabāñ se

kyā mujh ko aisā samjhā thā

itnī aañkh to mujh meñ bhī thī

duniyā ko duniyā samjhā thā

maiñ ne tujh ko manzil jaanā

tū mujh ko rasta samjhā thā

be-ā.īna shahr ne mujh ko

ḳhud sā be-chehrā samjhā thā

kyā se kyā niklā hai, tū bhī

maiñ tujh ko kaisā samjhā thā
