Mai-kada Tha Chandni Thi Main Na Tha

mai-kada tha chandni thi main na tha

ek mujassam be-KHudi thi main na tha

ishq jab dam toDta tha tum na the

maut jab sar dhun rahi thi main na tha

tur par chheDa tha jis ne aap ko

wo meri diwangi thi main na tha

wo hasin baiTha tha jab mere qarib

lazzat-e-ham-saegi thi main na tha

mai-kade ke moD par rukti hui

muddaton ki tishnagi thi main na tha

thi haqiqat kuchh meri to is qadar

us hasin ki dil-lagi thi main na tha

main aur us ghuncha-dahan ki aarzu

aarzu ki sadgi thi main na tha

jis ne mah-paron ke dil pighla diye

wo to meri shaeri thi main na tha

gesuon ke sae mein aaram-kash

sar-barahna zindagi thi main na tha

dair o kaba mein 'adam' hairat-farosh

do-jahan ki bad-zani thi main na tha
