ab ke hum bichhDe to shayad kabhi KHwabon mein milen

aisa hai ki sab KHwab musalsal nahin hote

juz tere koi bhi din raat na jaane mere

abhi to jag rahe hain charagh rahon ke

aankh se dur na ho dil se utar jaega

umr bhar kaun nibhata hai talluq itna

wo Khaar Khaar hai shaKH-e-gulab ki manind

zindagi teri ata thi so tere nam ki hai

yun to pahle bhi hue us se kai bar juda

raat bhar hanste hue taron ne

tu itni dil-zada to na thi ai shab-e-firaq

na manzilon ko na hum rahguzar ko dekhte hain

zabt lazim hai magar dukh hai qayamat ka faraaz

hum agar manzilen na ban pae

kuchh is tarah se guzari hai zindagi jaise
