Nazar mili, toh laga koi jaadu hua,
Dil ne dhadkanon se naya geet buna.
Hawa ne kaanon mein chupke se kaha,
"Shayad yahi hai ishq ki pehli dastaan."
Suraj ki pehli kiran jo chhoo jaaye,
Waisa hi ehsaas dil mein utarne laga.
Sanson mein ghuli thi wo ajanabi mehak,
Jo dheere-dheere apna asar karne laga.
Shehar ki bheed mein wo lamha thehar gaya,
Jaise waqt ne bhi chalna chhod diya.
Ek ankaha rishta judta chala gaya,
Jiska naam tak rakhna bhool diya.
Khamosh nigahon mein baatein hazaar,
Lafzon se badhkar tha unka ishara.
Chand palon ka wo pehla ehsaas,
Dil ke kone mein sadiyon tak rahe khaas.
Chaho toh ise vaham samajh lena,
Ya muqaddar ka koi paigam.
Par dil kehta hai, ye pehli nazar,
Badal degi har anjaam.
