Qismat Ajib Khel Dikhati Chali Gai

qismat ajib khel dikhati chali gai

jo hans rahe the un ko rulati chali gai

dil goya hadsat-e-musalsal ka shahar ho

dhaDkan bhi chiKH ban ke Daraati chali gai

kaghaz ki tarah ho gai bosida zindagi

tahrir hasraton ki miTati chali gai

main chahti nahin thi magar phir bhi jaane kyun

aai jo teri yaad to aati chali gai

aankhon ki putliyon se tera aks bhi gaya

yani charagh mein thi jo baati chali gai

DhunDa unhen jo raat ki tanhai mein 'haya'

ek kahkashan si zehan pe chhati chali gai
