Khoi hai ek parachayi jo mere sang sang chala karti thi

Khoi hai ek nishani si wo jo har moud par mila karti thi

Kuch rang thi wo, kuch roshani si, bas sath raha karti thi

Khoi hai ek khanak hansi, jo meri aawaz main hua karti thi

Khoi hai ek natakhat si pari, kahi mujhame basaa karti thi

Masoom si thi wo, kuch shaitan si, bas yu hi rup badalati thi

Khoi hai aankho ki wo chamak, jisame dunia dikha karti thi

Khoi hai bheetar ki rohsani, andhero main jo raah batati thi

Suraj si kabhi ek jyot si, ek aag thi jo man main jalaa karti thi

Khoi hai gam ki chahat, kabhi sadaa seene main basa karti thi

Khoi hai khudase roothi raatein, aksar shikayato main beeta karti thi

Khafa rahte the khudase, phir bhi dil main ek tasalli si rahti thi

Khoi hai jaan.. jism ko choad tanha, har saans usko jaise chubha karti thi

Khoi hai khudpe gumaan karne ki chahat, apani hasti hi jaise apani naa thi

Naa jaane koun likh betha ye lafaz kagaz pe, meri ruh to abhi jaagi naa thi
