ab dil ki ye shakl ho gai hai
jaise koi chiz kho gai hai

pahle bhi kharab thi ye duniya
ab aur kharab ho gai hai

is bahar mein kitni kashtiyon ko
sahil ki hawa dubo gai hai

gul jin ki hansi uda chuke the!
shabnam bhi unhin ko ro gai hai

kal se wo udas udas hain kuchh
shayad koi baat ho gai hai

shadab hai jis se kisht-e-hasti
wo bij bhi maut bo gai hai
