Bikhri bikhri shamon mein Sehmi sehmi ratoon mein
Tanha tanha lamhon mein Gumsum gumsum baton mein
Kuch guzra zamana yaad aya Aaj gosha-e-tanhaii mein
Ek shaks purana yaad aya Kaghaz ki tehriroN mein
Dhundli si tasveeroN mein Ek chehra anjana yaad aya
Woh parhna usey kitaboN mein Aur dhoondna usey khuwaboN mein
Usey paane ki is koshish mein Meri neend ka jana yaad aya
Aaj gosha-e-tanhaii mein Ek shaks purana yaad aya
