jo haal tumhare baad huwa

Ab kis say kahain aur kaun sunay

 jo haal tumhare baad huwa
Is dil ki jheel si aankhoon mein 

ek khwaab bohat barbaad huwa

Yeh hijr hawa bhi dushman hai 

us naam kay saaray rangon ki
Woh naam jo mere honton per 

khushboo ki tarah abaad huwa

Is shehar mein kitne chehray thay

 kuch yaad nahee sab bhool gaye
Ek shaks kitabon jaisa thaa 

woh shaks zubaani yaad huwa

Woh apne gaaon ki galiyaan theen 

dil jin mein naachta gaata thaa
Ab is se farq nahee parta

 na'shaad huwa ya shaad huwa

Bay-naam sataaish rehti thee 

un ghehri saanwli aankhoon mein
Aisa tu kabhi socha bhi na thaa 

dil ab jitna bay-daad huwa...
