aa.Nkho.n ko i.ntazaar kaa de ke hunar chalaa gayaa
chaahaa thaa ek shakhs ko jaane kidhar chalaa gayaa

din kii wo mahafile.n ga_ii.n raato.n ke ratajage gaye
ko_ii sameT kar mere shaam-o-sahar chalaa gayaa

jho.nkaa hai ek bahaar kaa ra.ng-e-Kayaal-e-yaar bhii
har-suu bikhar bikhar ga_ii Kushbuu jidhar chalaa gayaa

usake hii dam se dil me.n aaj dhuup bhii chaa.Ndanii bhii hai
de ke wo apanii yaad ke shams-o-qamar chalaa gayaa

kuu-ba-kuuchaa dar-ba-dar kabase bhaTak rahaa hai dil
hamako bhulaa ke raah wo apanii Dagar chalaa gayaa
