Bahut hi muddat ke baad kal jab kitaab-e-maazi ko maine khola

Bahut hi muddat ke baad kal jab

kitaab-e-maazi ko maine khola

Bahut se chehre nazar mein utare

bahut se naamon pe dil paseeja

Ek aisa safha bhi uss mein aaya

likha hua tha jo aansuon se

K jiska unwan 'humsafar' tha

jo safha sab se hi motabar tha

Kuchh aur aansu phir uss pe tapke

phir uss se aage main parh na paya

Kitaab-e-maazi ko band kar ke

uski baaton mein kho gaya main

Agar woh milta toh kaisa hota

inhi khyaalon mein so gaya main
