Dil mein ek chehra basaaye rakha hain
Auron se yeh rishta chupaye rakha hain
Waise toh chaak hain girebaan-e-dil
Phir bhi umeed ka ek taka lagaye rakha hain
Nazar aate hain hamesha woh khushrang libaas mein
Aasteen mein jaane kya chupaye rakha hain
Ek titli mili thi humein tasavvur ke baag mein
Use apni palkon par bithaye rakha hain
Chubte nahin pairon mein ab kaante hayaat ke
Yeh kaalin-e-sukhan jo bichaye rakha hain
Seelan si lagi hain is dil ki deewaron par
Teri tasveeron se use chupaye rakha hain
Koi meheram aisa mila nahin yahaan
Jisne teskin-e-dil ko banaye rakha hain
Humein pata hain unka raaz-e-tabassum
Mere qalaam ko labon pe sajaaye rakha hain
