tu wajh-e-zindagi hai jawaz-e-hayat hai
wo mujh se kah rahi thi abhi kal ki baat hai

pahle pahal to hum tere dil mein muqim the
pahle ki baat aur thi ab aur baat hai

wo kaenat bhi hai tere husn ki asir
is kaenat se jo pare kaenat hai

wo aa mila hai waqt ki diwar phand kar
ye ishq hai aur ishq dar-e-mumkinat hai

kahta tha jis ko main bhi kabhi husn-e-be-misal
dar-asl be-misal nahin be-sabaat hai

tum maut se darao ya bhuk aur pyas se
kheme yahin lagenge yahin pe furaat hai

barish phuwar raat ki rani hawa ka shor
ye raat aaj ki badi pur-kaif raat hai
