aa.e kyaa kyaa yaad nazar jab pa.Dtii in daalaano.n par

aa.nkhe.n churaa ke ham se bahaar aa.e ye nahii.n

aahaT sii ko.ii aa.e to lagtaa hai ki tum ho

aaj muddat me.n vo yaad aa.e hai.n

achchhaa hai un se ko.ii taqaazaa kiyaa na jaa.e

ai dard-e-ishq tujh se mukarne lagaa huu.n mai.n

ash.aar mire yuu.n to zamaane ke liye hai.n

bahut dil kar ke ho.nTo.n kii shagufta taazgii dii hai

chau.nk chau.nk uThtii hai mahlo.n kii fazaa raat ga.e

diida o dil me.n ko.ii husn bikhartaa hii rahaa

dil ko har lamha bachaate rahe jazbaat se ham

ham ne kaaTii hai.n tirii yaad me.n raate.n aksar

ham se bhaagaa na karo duur Gazaalo.n kii tarah

har ek ruuh me.n ik Gam chhupaa lage hai mujhe

har ek shaKHs pareshaan-o-darba-dar saa lage

hausla kho na diyaa terii nahii.n se ham ne

jab lage.n zaKHm to qaatil ko du.aa dii jaa.e

jism kii har baat hai aavaargii ye mat kaho

KHud-ba-KHud mai hai ki shiishe me.n bharii aave hai

laakh aavaara sahii shahro.n ke fuTpaatho.n pe ham

log kahte hai.n ki tuu ab bhii KHafaa hai mujh se

maanaa ki ra.ng ra.ng tiraa pairahan bhii hai

mai-kashii ab mirii aadat ke sivaa kuchh bhii nahii.n

mauj-e-gul mauj-e-sabaa mauj-e-sahar lagtii hai

mujhe ma.aluum hai mai.n saarii duniyaa kii amaanat huu.n

ranj-o-Gam maa.nge hai andoh-o-balaa maa.nge hai

sau chaa.nd bhii chamke.nge to kyaa baat banegii

sub.h ke dard ko raato.n kii jalan ko bhuule.n

tamaam umr azaabo.n kaa silsila to rahaa

tuluu-e-sub.h hai nazre.n uThaa ke dekh zaraa

tum pe kyaa biit ga.ii kuchh to bataa.o yaaro

tumhaare jashn ko jashn-e-farozaa.n ham nahii.n kahte

tuu is qadar mujhe apne qariib lagtaa hai

ufuq agarche pighaltaa dikhaa.ii pa.Dtaa hai

vo log hii har daur me.n mahbuub rahe hai.n

zamii.n hogii kisii qaatil kaa daamaa.n ham na kahte the

zaraa sii baat pe har rasm to.D aayaa thaa

zindagii tujh ko bhulaayaa hai bahut din ham ne

zindagii ye to nahii.n tujh ko sa.nvaaraa hii na ho

zulfe.n siina naaf kamar
