milne kī jab baat huī thī
tanhā.ī bhī paas khaḌī thī

āñkhoñ meñ tūfān aayā thā
dil kī bastī Duub ga.ī thī

maiñ ki tere dhyān meñ gum thā
duniyā mujh ko DhūñDh rahī thī

ham donoñ ḳhāmosh khaḌe the
sāvan kī pur-zor jhaḌī thī

kosoñ duur mujhe jaanā thā
paañv meñ zanjīr paḌī thī

tum se judā.ī kā kyā ronā
ye to qismat meñ likkhī thī

ḳhvāboñ ke ik shahzāde se
niind kī devī ruuTh ga.ī thī

saarī umr sulagte guzrī
maiñ thā yā giilī lakḌī thī

milne ki jab baat hui thi
tanhai bhi pas khaDi thi

aankhon mein tufan aaya tha
dil ki basti Dub gai thi

main ki tere dhyan mein gum tha
duniya mujh ko DhunDh rahi thi

hum donon KHamosh khaDe the
sawan ki pur-zor jhaDi thi

koson dur mujhe jaana tha
panw mein zanjir paDi thi

tum se judai ka kya rona
ye to qismat mein likkhi thi

KHwabon ke ek shahzade se
nind ki dewi ruTh gai thi

sari umr sulagte guzri
main tha ya gili lakDi thi
