jaate jaate woh apne jaane ka gham de gaye;
sab bahaaren le gaye rone ka mausam de gaye;
dhundti hai nigaahen par woh ab kahin nahin,
apne hone ka woh muje kaisa bharam de gaye;
mujhe mere papa ki surat yaad aati hai,
woh to na rahe apni yaadon ka sitam de gaye;
ek ajeeb sa sannaata hai aaj kal is ghar me,
ghar ki dar-o-deewar ko udaasi peham de gaye;
badal gai hai ab taasir, taasir ki zindagi ki,
tum kya gaye aakhon ko manzar-e-maatam de gaye;
