ek tumhaare pyar ki khatir jag ke dukh apnae the
hum ne apne ek dip se kitne dip jalae the

sirf jawani ke kuchh din hi umr ka hasil hote hain
aur jawani ke ye din bhi hum ko ras na aae the

husn ko hum ne amar kaha tha pyar ko sachcha jaana tha
ek jawani ke kas-bal par sare sach jhutlae the

us ke bina jo umr guzari be-masraf si lagti thi
us ki gali mein umr ganwa kar bhi hum hi pachhtae the

be-mehri ki tohmat bhi hai mehr-o-murawwat walon par
usi hawa ne murjhae hain jis ne phul khilae the

gharq-e-baada-e-nab hue wo chand se chehre phul se jism
tum ne jin ki yaad mein 'ishqi' jam kabhi takrae the
