dil kii baat labo.n par laa kar ab tak ham dukh sahate hai.n
hamane sunaa thaa is bastii me.n dilawaale bhii rahate hai.n

ek hame.n aawaaraa kahanaa ko_ii ba.Daa ilzaam nahii.n
duniyaa waale dilawaalo.n ko aur bahut kuchh kahate hai.n

biit gayaa saawan kaa mahiinaa mausam ne nazare.n badalii.n
lekin in pyaasii aa.Nkho.n se ab tak aa.Nsuu bahate hai.n

jinakii Kaatir shahar bhii chho.Daa jinake liye badanaam huye
aaj wohii hamase begaane begaane se rahate hai.n

wo jo abhii is raahaguzar se chaak-girebaa.N guzaraa thaa
us aawaaraa diiwaane ko 'jaalib' jaalib kahate hai.n
