rakhe rakhe ho gae purane tamam rishte

tere tasawwur ki dhup oDhe khaDa hun chhat par

sabhi musafir chalen agar ek ruKH to kya hai maza safar ka

chilchilati-dhup thi lekin tha saya ham-qadam

yahan pe hansna rawa hai rona hai be-hayai

ye karobar-e-mohabbat hai tum na samjhoge

uske shar se main sada mangta rahta hun panah

mujhse kal mahfil mein usne muskura kar baat ki

fasl boi bhi humne kaTi bhi

ye kya bad-mazaqi hai gard jhaDte kyun ho

saint kar iman kuchh din aur rakhna hai abhi

hum uski KHatir bacha na paenge umr apni

sare manzar hasin lagte hain

hans hans ke us se baaten kiye ja rahe ho tum
