koi itna pyara kaise ho sakta hai

gham-e-jahan se main ukta gaya to kya hoga

aap jaison ke liye isMein rakha kuchh bhi nahin

ek taswir ki awwal nahin dekhi jati

ishq ne jab bhi kisi dil pe hukumat ki hai

jo bhi jine ke silsile kiye the

idhar ye haal ki chhune ka iKHtiyar nahin

na sahi aish, guzara hi sahi

dad to baad mein kamaenge

nahin ki pand-o-nasihat ka qaht paD gaya hai

karega kya koi mere gale-saDe aansu

nahin aisa bhi ki yaksar nahin rahne wala

arz-e-alam ba-tarz-e-tamasha bhi chahiye

hazar sahra the raste mein yar kya karta

main chahta hun ki dil mein tera KHayal na ho
