is cocktail ka to nasha hi kuchh aur hai

ek talluq tha jise aag laga di usne

mere wajud ko parchhaiyon ne toD diya

misal-e-shama jala hun dhuan sa bikhra hun

safed-poshi-e-dil ka bharam bhi rakhna hai

purane yar bhi aapas mein ab nahin milte

main ek thaka hua insan aur kya karta

ab kaun ja ke sahib-e-mimbar se ye kahe

mere liye na ruk sake to kya hua

zindagi ho to kai kaam nikal aate hain

main hi apni qaid mein tha aur main hi ek din

ziyaada der use dekhna bhi hai fazil

muddat ke baad aaj main office nahin gaya

main apne aap se aage nikalne wala tha

tum kabhi ek nazar meri taraf bhi dekho
