"chhoD aaya tha mez par chaa.e ye juda.i ka isti.ara tha"

"vaqt kar dega faisla is ka kaun sachcha hai kaun jhuTa hai"

"phir yahi baat na main bhuul saka main use bhuul gaya tha ik din"

"meri ankhon men aa ke raakh hua jaane kis des ka sitara tha"

"bahar dard bhara iqtibas chhoD ga.i har ik shajar ka badan be-libas chhoD ga.i"

"lahu meri nason men bhi kabhi ka jam chuka tha badan par barf ko oDhe nadi bhi so rahi thi"

bahaar dard bharaa iqtibaas chhoD gai
har ik shajar kaa badan be-libaas chhoD gai

meri aankhon mein aa ke raakh huaa
jaane kis des kaa sitaaraa thaa

phir yahi baat na main bhuul sakaa
main use bhuul gayaa thaa ik din

chhoD aayaa thaa mez par chaae
ye judaai kaa istiaaraa thaa

vaqt kar degaa faisla is kaa
kaun sachchaa hai kaun jhuTaa hai

lahu meri nason mein bhi kabhi kaa jam chukaa thaa
badan par barf ko oDhe nadi bhi so rahi thi
