Ye ajab sayete rukhsat hai k dar lagta hai
Shahar ka shahar mujay rakhtay safar lagta hai
Hum ko dil ney nahi halat ne nazdik kiya
Dhoop main dor se her shakhs shajar lagata hai
Jis pay chaltay hoye socha tha k lout aon ga
Ab wo rasta bhi mujay shahary badr lagta hai
Muj se to dil bhi muhabat main nahi kharch hoya
Tum to kehtay thay k is kam main gar lagta hai
Waqat lafzo se banai hoi chadar jesa
Orh leta hun to sub khawab hunar lagta hai
Aik mudat se meri maan nahi soi Tabish
Maine ik bar kaha tha mujay dar lagta hai
