Muskuraate hoge na

aankhon ki taarif me unhe samundar kaha tha humne,
aaj bhi khud ko aaine me dekh ke muskuraate hoge na,

tofhe me tumhe laal koi gulaab kabhi diya tha humne,
aaj bhi us gulaab ko sakhiyon se chhipaate hoge na,

chhooke tumhaare hothon ko kabhi pyaar kiya tha humne,
aaj bhi apne hothon pe hothon ko mehsoos karte hoge na,

kabhi tumhaari taarif me kuch ghazal likhe the humne,
aaj bhi akele me mere un geeton ko gungunaate hoge na...
