ye qarz to mera hai chukaega koi aur
dukh mujh ko hai aur nir bahaega koi aur

kya phir yunhi di jaegi ujrat pe gawahi
kya teri saza ab ke bhi paega koi aur

anjam ko pahunchunga main anjam se pahle
khud meri kahani bhi sunaega koi aur

tab hogi khabar kitni hai raftar-e-taghayyur
jab sham dhale laut ke aaega koi aur

ummid-e-sahar bhi to wirasat mein hai shamil
shayad ki diya ab ke jalaega koi aur

kab bar-e-tabassum mere honton se uthega
ye bojh bhi lagta hai uthaega koi aur

is bar hun dushman ki rasai se bahut dur
is bar magar zakhm lagaega koi aur

shamil pas-e-parda bhi hain is khel mein kuchh log
bolega koi hont hilaega koi aur
