Maine tum par bharosa kiya, tumne waqt par bech diya,
Ab har naye chehre mein pehle dhoka dikhta hai.

Muskura kar alvida kaha, aansu baad mein aaye,
Alvida kehna aasan tha — bhoolna mushkil hai.

Bistar pe leta hoon to chhat par tumhara chehra banta hai,
Neend aaye to sapno mein bhi tum hi milte ho.

Toote khwab aadhi raat ke farsh par,
Main unhe uthata hoon aur phir khwab dekhta hoon.

Din bhar muskuraya taake koi jaan na sake,
Dil toot bhi jaye to dikhai nahi deta.
