Khat mein likhe huye ranjish ke kalaam yaad aate hain,
kis kayamat ke yeh naame mere naam aate hain,

tab e nazaara kise dekhe jo unke jalwe,
bijliyan kondhati hain jab lam e baam aate hain,

to sahi hasr mein tujh se jo na yeh kahlwa doo,
dost woh hote hain jo vakt pe kaam aate hain,

sabr karta hai kabhi aur tadpata hai kabhi,
dil e naakam ko apne yeh hi kaam aate hain…
