qismat ajib khel dikhati chali gai
jo hans rahe the un ko rulati chali gai
dil goya hadsat-e-musalsal ka shahr ho
dhaDkan bhi chiKH ban ke Daraati chali gai
kaghaz ki tarah ho gai bosida zindagi
tahrir hasraton ki miTati chali gai
main chahti nahin thi magar phir bhi jaane kyun
aai jo teri yaad to aati chali gai
aankhon ki putliyon se tera 'aks bhi gaya
ya'ni charagh mein thi jo baati chali gai
DhunDa unhen jo raat ki tanhai mein 'haya'
ek kahkashan si zehan pe chhati chali gai
