Pathar tha magar barf k golon ki tarah tha

Pathar tha magar barf k golon ki tarah tha
aik shaks andheron mein ujalon ki tarah tha

Khuwabon ki tarah tha na khialon ki tarah tha
Wo ilm-e-riyazi k sawalon ki tarah tha

Uljha hua aisa k kabhi na Hel ho paya
Sulja hua aesa k Misalon ki tarah tha

Wo mil to gia tha Magar apna he mukaddar
Shatranj ki uljhi hui chalon ki tarah tha

Wo rooh mein khusbo ki tarah ho gia tehleel
Jo door bohat chand k Haalon ki tarah tha
