na hum ab yaad mein us ki kabhi aansu bahaenge
na us ke chhod jaane par kabhi khud ko rulaenge

hamein bhi ruth jaane ka hunar to khub aata hai
agar wo had se badh kar jaan-e-jaan hum ko sataenge

hamein kab zeb deta hai ki aansu un ko dikhlaen
hum apni dastan-e-gham unhen hans kar sunaenge

andheron se wo darte hain hamein malum hai ye bhi
diye hum raste mein un ke har shab ko jalaenge

dua hum roz karte hain 'dua' par hai yaqin hum ko
hamein kaamil yaqin hai laut kar ek din wo aaenge
