is cocktail ka to nasha hi kuchh aur hai

main apne aap se aage nikalne wala tha

sab apne apne diyon ke asir pae gae

main hi apni qaid mein tha aur main hi ek din

main aksar kho sa jata hun gali-kuchon ke jangal mein

purane yar bhi aapas mein ab nahin milte

hamare kamre mein uski yaaden nahin hain fazil

tum kabhi ek nazar meri taraf bhi dekho

main ek thaka hua insan aur kya karta

zindagi ho to kai kaam nikal aate hain

muddat ke baad aaj main office nahin gaya

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

ziyaada der use dekhna bhi hai fazil

mere liye na ruk sake to kya hua

misal-e-shama jala hun dhuan sa bikhra hun
