Ek Larki thi sab ki tarha par sab se juda thi,

Wo jo bhi thi jesi bhi thi par sab se juda thi,

Kabhi shan-e-zamana to kabhi ghar ki anaa thi,

Wo jo bhi thi jesi bhi thi par sab se juda thi,

Kabhi saamne sab k use hanste hoe dekha,

kabhi chup kr ksi kone me roote hue dekha,

kahbi chaand sa roshan-o-chamakta hua dekha,

kabhi roothey hue phool sa rotha hua dekha,

Wo bagh-e-dil-o-dar k gulabun ki tarha thi,

Ek Larki thi sab ki tarha par sab se juda thi,

(M.Waqar)
