jaega dil kahan hoga yahin kahin
jab dil ka ham-nashin milta nahin kahin

yun us ki yaad hai dil mein basi hui
jaise khazana ho zer-e-zamin kahin

hum ne tumhaara gham dil mein chhupaya hai
dekha bhi hai kabhi aisa amin kahin

meri daraaz mein hai us ka khat dhara
atka hua na ho dil bhi wahin kahin

hai us ka khat to bas sidha sapat sa
han dil-lagi bhi hai is mein kahin kahin

jitna wo dil-ruba utna hi bewafa
dil ko mila hi kyon aisa hasin kahin

'ahmad' ye dil mera kyon hai bujha bujha
dil se khafa na ho dil ka makin kahin
