hamaarii saa.Nso.n me.n aaj tak 
vo hinaa kii khushabuu mahak rahii hai
labo.n pe nagame.n machal rahe hai.n
nazar se mastii jhalak rahii hai

ta.Dap mere bekaraar dil kii
kabhii to un pe asar karegii
kabhii to vo bhii jale.nge is me.n
jo aag dil me.n dahak rahii hai

vo mere nazadiik aate aate
hayaa se ik din simaT gaye the
mere khayaalo.n me.n aaj tak
vo badan kii Daalii lachak rahii hai

sadaa jo dil se nikal rahii hai
vo shaayar-o-naGamo.n me.n Dhal rahii hai
ki dil ke aa.ngan me.n jaise koii
Gazal kii jhA.njhar chhanak rahii hai
