kaise kah dun ki mulaqat nahin hoti hai
roz milte hain magar baat nahin hoti hai

aap lillah na dekha karen aaina kabhi
dil ka aa jaana badi baat nahin hoti hai

chhup ke rota hun teri yaad mein duniya bhar se
kab meri aankh se barsat nahin hoti hai

haal-e-dil puchhne wale teri duniya mein kabhi
din to hota hai magar raat nahin hoti hai

jab bhi milte hain to kahte hain ki kaise ho 'shakil'
is se aage to koi baat nahin hoti hai
