gai ruton ko bhi yaad rakhna nai ruton ke bhi bab paDhna

umr sari yunhi guzari hai

surat hai wo aisi ki bhulai nahin jati

na wo iqrar karta hai na wo inkar karta hai

kabhi aabaad karta hai kabhi barbaad karta hai

phir nae KHwab bunen phir nai rangat chahen

khilne lage hain phul aur patte hare hue

pahle si ab baat kahan hai

chup hain huzur mujhse koi baat ho gai

munh apni riwayat se phera nahin karte

main apne-ap se ghafil na yun hua hota

kabhi sham-e-hijr guzarte kabhi zulf-e-yar sanwarte

is darja meri zat se usko hasad hua

uski aankhen hare samundar uski baaten barf

main apne aap se ghafil na yun hua hota
