Khaali kaaghaz pey harf sajaaya karta tha
Tanhaai men shehar basaaya karta tha

Kaisa paagal shakhs tha saari saari raat
Deewaaron ko dard sunaaya karta tha

Ro deta tha aap hi apni baaton par
Aur phir khud ko aap hansaaya karta tha

Jalnay lagti lahu men judaai to ro daita
Tanhaaiyon ki khaak uraaya karta tha

Chehray say tera rog chupaata to hans daita
Aankhon men teri yaad manaaya karta tha

Yaaro be waqt hua pyaar usay lay dooba
Jo logon ko pyaar k gur sikhaaya karta tha
