ik sham k dhalte saaye main, wo saamne chup chup bethi thi,

ik sham k dhalte saaye main,  wo saamne chup chup bethi thi,  zuban se to khamosh magar,  aankhon se sab kuch kehti thi,

chaand se us k chehre par,  
ik ajab udaasi chaayi thi,  
jheel c us ki aankhon main,  
ik naee umeed c ayi thi,  
kuch kehna tha us ko mujh se,  jo kehna tha na keh pai,  
alfaz na the us k paband,  
ye baat batane ayi thi,

jo kuch b us k dil men tha,  
main bina sune hi jaan gaya,  
us ki aankh k aansu ne,  
har baat mujhe batlaai thi. . . . . !
