Is umr ke ba.ad us ko dekhaa! Aankhon men savaal the hazaaron HonTon pe magar vahee tabassum! Chehre pe likhee huee udaasee Lahje men magar balaa kaa Thahraao Aavaaz men goonjtee judaa.ee Baanhen thiin magar visaal-e-saamaan! SimTee huee us ke baazuon men Taa-der main sochtee rahi thee Kis abr-e-gurez-paa kee khaatir Main kaise shajar se kaT ga.ee thee Kis Chaaon ko tark kar diyaa tha Main us ke gale lagee huee thee Vo ponchh raha tha mire aansoo Lekin baDee der ho chukee thii! Is umr ke baad us ko dekha! Aankhon mein sawal the hazaron HonTon pe magar wahi tabassum! Chehre pe likhi hui udasi Lahje mein magar bala ka Thahrao Aawaz mein gunjti judai Banhen thin magar visal-e-saman! SimTi hui us ke bazuon mein Ta-der main sochti rahi thi Kis abr-e-gurez-pa ki KHatir Main kaise shajar se kaT gai thi Kis chhanw ko tark kar diya tha Main us ke gale lagi hui thi Wo ponchh raha tha mere aansu Lekin baDi der ho chuki thi!
