zahr-e-gham kaam kar gaya shayad
koi jaan se guzar gaya shayad

dil ajab haalat-e-qarar mein hai
zakhm-e-ummid bhar gaya shayad

chand ek sath sath chalta tha
raat ke par utar gaya shayad

meri manzil pukarti thi mujhe
laut kar wo bhi ghar gaya shayad

ab jo hamrah koi chap nahin
aakhiri ham-safar gaya shayad

maut kyon is qadar aziz hui
zist se koi dar gaya shayad
