baad muddat ye jilaa kis ke hunar ne bakhshi — Bakul Dev

vahi aansu vahi maazi ke qisse
jise dekho kaTe ko kaaTtaa hai

havas shaamil hai thoDi si duaa mein
abhi is lau mein halkaa saa dhuaan hai

shaam utri hai phir ahaate mein
jism par raushni ke ghaav liye

taalluq tark to kar lein sabhi se
bhale lagte hain kuchh nuqsaan lekin

main saare faasle tai kar chukaa huun
khudi jo darmiyaan thi darmiyaan hai

aaine mein hai phir vahi surat
yuun hi hoti hai tarjumaani kyaa
