Ek chehraa sath sath rahaa jo milaa nahii
kisko talaash karta raha kuch pataa nahii

shiddat ki dhoop taiz havaon k ba-vajood
mai shakh se gira hoo, nazar se gira nahii

aakhir Ghazal ka taj-mahal bhi hai mak-bara
ham zindagi the hamko kisi ne jiyaa nahii

jiski mukha-lifat hui mash-hoor ho gaya
in pattharo se koi parinda giraa nahii

tarikiyo me aur chamakti hai dil ki dhoop
suraj tamam raat yahaa Doobta nahii

kisne jalaye bastiyaa bazaar kyo luTay
mai chaNd par gaya tha mujhe kuch pata nahii
