hum ahl-e-zarf hain yun hi KHafa nahin hote

aaina dekhta rahta hai sanwarne wala

mila tha koi sar-e-rah ajnabi ki tarah

ashk aankhon se piya bhi na bahaya humne

KHizan ka KHauf bhi hai mausam-e-bahaar bhi hai

rah-e-wafa mein hamein jitne ham-KHayal mile

kise aziz nahin hogi zindagi meri

gham-zada hum hain ye kahna chhoD do

kabhi be-sabab tum rula kar to dekho

tere sae se pare rah ke jiya kaise karen

mujhko kabhi bhi un se shikayat hui nahin

aate jate log hamein kyun dost purane lagte hain

shabnam se likhun ashkon se likhun main dil ki kahani kaise likhun

kaha ye kis ne ki ab mujhko tum se pyar nahin

dard dil se kabhi juda na hua
