jab wo neend se jaagay, to usay bata dena

jab wo neend se jaagay, to usay bata dena,

k poori raat tere pass jaaga tha koi,

jab tera aanchal tere tan se sirakne lagta,

to poori raat palkon ko jhukaata tha koi,

tum ne jab neend mai haathon ko us k pakra tha,

us shab-e-wisaal saktay mai parh gya tha koi,

jab bhi aati kabhi muskaan tere chehre pe,

haan! Phir dheeray se buht muskra dia tha koi,

jab bhi takia tere sir se hut jaata tha,

phir apni gaud mai sir rakh k sulaata tha koi... —
