gham-e-ulfat mein dube the ubharna bhi zaruri tha
hamein rah-e-mohabbat se guzarna bhi zaruri tha

haqiqat samne aai bahut hairat hui mujh ko
tere chehre se parde ka utarna bhi zaruri tha

hamein manzil ko pana tha tabhi to rah-e-hasti mein
hamein pathrile raston se guzarna bhi zaruri tha

lutate hi rahe jo kuchh bhi apne pas tha yaro
ki khushbu ki tarah apna bikharna bhi zaruri tha

hamein wo bhul baithe hain unhen phir yaad kya karna
unhen rah-e-mohabbat mein bisarna bhi zaruri tha

hamari zindagi mein hadse hote rahe 'ambar'
unhen sahte hue apna nikharna bhi zaruri tha
