ek shoala sa uTha tha dil mein

dekhe hain bahut humne hangame mohabbat ke

kitni fariyaaden labon par ruk gain

khul ke rone ki tamanna thi hamein

main tohfa le ke aaya hun tamannaon ke phulon ka

jaane kis ki thi KHata yaad nahin

jab bhi do aansu nikal kar rah gae

aisa na ho ye dard bane dard-e-la-dawa

is aalam-e-viran mein kya anjuman-arai

milte gae hain moD nae har maqam par

roz dohraate the afsana-e-dil

dilon ka zikr hi kya hai milen milen na milen

ek faqat yaad hai jaana un ka

aaj tabassum sab ke lab par

kaun kis ka gham khae kaun kis ko bahlae
