ek thaa shakhs zamaana thaa ki diivaana banaa

Ek thaa shakhs zamaana thaa ki deevaana banaa Ek afsaana thaa afsaane se afsaana banaa Ik paree-chehra ki jis chehre se aa.eena banaa Dil ki aa.eena-dar-aa.eena paree-khaana banaa Khema-e-shab men nikal aataa hai gaahe gaahe Ek aahoo kabhee apna kabhee begaana banaa Hai charaaghaan hee charaaghaan sar-e-aariz sar-e-jaam Rang-e-sad-jalva-e-jaanaana sanam-khaana banaa Ek jhonkaa tire pahloo kaa mahaktee huee yaad Ek lamha tiree dildaaree kaa kya kya na banaa
