Har ek se Shanasai hai...

Yun tu is bazm main har ek se shanasaai hai
Phir bhi ehsaas ye hota hai ke tanhaai hai,

Ajnabiyat si ye mehsos kiya tha main ne
Uske badlay howe se lehjay main utar aayi hai,

Main agar chen se soyi nahin us shaam ke baad
Chen se neend kisi aur kokab aayi hai,

Log har gaam ye ranjish ka sabab pochtay hain
Khalqat-e-shahr fasanon pe utar aayi hai,

Us se milna bhi azziyyat ka sabab hai lekin
Us se ab tark-e-ta'alluq main bhi ruswai hai....
