Teri yaad ke darakht ke neeche baith kar…

Vo sehma aur khamosh duptta,

Jab ambar ko gale laga leta hai,

Us par lage sitaron se jab dheemi si roashni aati hai,

Aur mehtab ussey apne rang de deta hai,

Tab teri yaad ke darakht(tree) ke neeche baith kar,

Hum tere khayalon ke samandar me bheega karte hain…

Din bhar karte hain guft goo tumse,

Tumhein dil ka har haal bataya karte hain,

Aur in chup se palon me phir,

Tum tak kabhi na pahuchne wali aawaz ke,

 jawab ka intezaar karte hain…

Shor me sunte hain hum aahat tumhari,

Chahal-kadmi(walk) ko tumhari,

Kabhi koi dhun toh kabhi nagma bana lete hain,

Phir raat bhar chandni ko,

Bas vahi geet sunaya karte hain…

Kuch nahi rakhte hum paas humare,

Bas tumhari tasveer santh liye chala karte hain,

Bojh nahi koi,

Zar-e-ashab(jewel of tears) hai mera,

Chand me ussi ko nihara karte hain…

Dooba hota hai har lamha,

Chasni me tumhare ehsaas ke,

Aur har raat tumhare kareeb baith kar,

Hum safa(page) par tumhare naam ko utara karte hain,

Phir har pattey ko teri tasveer bana kar,

Hum teri yaad ke darakht ke neeche baith kar,

Tere ehsaas ki barish me bheega karte hain…
