shikast-e-zindagi waise bhi maut hi hai na

us lamhe tishna-lab ret bhi pani hoti hai

kal apne shahr ki bas mein sawar hote hue

aadmi KHwar bhi hota hai nahin bhi hota

jab ek sarab mein pyason ko pyas utarti hai

tabhi to main mohabbat ka hawalati nahin hota

hamare KHun ke pyase pashemani se mar jaen

aaj hi fursat se kal ka masala chheDunga main

to phir wo ishq ye naqd-o-nazar barae-faroKHt

mujhe rona nahin aawaz bhi bhaari nahin karni

rah bhola hun magar ye meri KHami to nahin

wo jo ek shaKHs wahan hai wo yahan kaise ho

nahin tha dhyan koi toDte hue cigarette
