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
