Jo legaya thaa cheen ke beenayian meri

Jalti hain us ki aankh mein parchaayian meri

Iss shehr-be-sada ke dareechey na khul sakey

Galiyuon mein cheekhti rahi tanhaayian meri

Lamhoun mein batt gayi hai merey jism ki sadi

Kam ho gayi hain phail ke gehraayian meri

Roka hai ek ajnabi khushbu ne raasta!

Hairaan si khadi hain shanasaayian meri

Wo saahiloun ko dhoop thi, uss se gila he kia

Maloom jo kar na saki gehraayian meri

Sooraj ke saamney hai mera baraf sa badan

Sayyaal ho rahi hain tawanaayian meri
