dil-e-abaad ka barbaad bhi hona zaruri hai
jise pana zaruri hai use khona zaruri hai

mukammal kis tarah hoga tamasha barq-o-baran ka
tera hansna zaruri hai mera rona zaruri hai

bahut si surkh aankhen shahr mein achchhi nahin lagtin
tere jage huon ka der tak sona zaruri hai

kisi ki yaad se is umr mein dil ki mulaqaten
thithurti sham mein ek dhup ka kona zaruri hai

ye khud-sar waqt le jae kahani ko kahan jaane
musannif ka kisi kirdar mein hona zaruri hai

janab-e-dil bahut nazan na hon dagh-e-mohabbat par
ye duniya hai yahan ye dagh bhi dhona zaruri hai
