zindagii ke mele men
Khvaahishon ke rele men
tum se kyaa kahen jaanaa
is qadar jhamele me.n
vaqt kii ravaanii hai
baKht kii giraanii hai
saKht bezamiinii hai
saKht laamakaanii hai
hijr ke samandar men
taKht aur taKhte kii
ek hii kahaanii hai
tum ko jo sunaanii hai
 
baat go zaraa sii hai
baat umr bhar kii hai
umr bhar kii baaten kab
do gha.Dii men hotii hain
dard ke samandar men
anginat jaziiren hain
beshumaar motii hain
aa.Nkh ke dariiche men
tum ne jo sajaayaa thaa
baat us diye kii hai
baat us gile kii hai
jo lahuu kii Khilvat me.n
chor ban ke aataa hai
lafz ke fasiilo.n par
TuuT TuuT jaataa hai
 
zindagii se lambii hai
baat rat-jage kii hai
raaste men kaise ho
baat taKhaliye kii hai
taKhaliye kii baaton men
guftaguu izaafii hai
pyaar karane vaalon ko
ik nigaah kaafii hai
ho sake to sun jaao
ek din akele men
tum se kyaa kahe.n jaanaaN
is qadar jhamele me.n
