ab un bite dinon ko soch kar to aisa lagta hai

ye sach hai aaj bhi hai mujhe zindagi aziz

koi waqt batla ki tujhse milun

nikale gae is ke mani hazar

na chaho tum to har ek gam kitni diwaren

hum pe jo guzri hai bas usko raqam karte hain

suna raha hun unhen jhuT-muT ek qissa

tamam yaaden mahak rahi hain har ek ghuncha khila hua hai

jaane kyun ek KHayal sa aaya

nigah-e-mehrban uThti to hai sab ki taraf lekin

zara jo tez chale to koi bhi sath na tha

mere dushman na mujhko bhul sake

ye tamanna nahin ab dad-e-hunar de koi

main apne ghar ko bulandi pe chaDh ke kya dekhun

tere na ho sake to kisi ke na ho sake
