kyun mata-e-dil ke luT jaane ka koi gham kare

dhuan cigarette ka botal ka nasha sab dushman-e-jaan hain

jala hai dil ya koi ghar ye dekhna logo

koi TuTa hua rishta na daman se ulajh jae

dur tak koi na aaya un ruton ko chhoDne

tum jahan apni masafat ke nishan chhoD gae

apni zat ke sare KHufiya raste us par khol diye

wo jis ko dekhne ek bhiD umDi thi sar-e-maqtal

zindagi jin ki rifaqat pe bahut nazan thi

wo jis ko dur se dekha tha ajnabi ki tarah

surKHiyan aKHbar ki galiyon mein ghul karti rahin

kahan pe TuTa tha rabt-e-kalam yaad nahin

jo na ek bar bhi chalte hue muD ke dekhen

nae gharon mein na rauzan the aur na mehraben

tum apne chand tare kahkashan chahe jise dena
