ab main KHud ko yaad aana chhoD dun

ab main khud ko yaad aana chhod dun
han ye kar-e-ahmaqana chhod dun
dard likhna chhod dun kaise bhala
'umr bhar ka mehnatana chhod dun


dam-o-sayyaad-o-qafas ke khauf se
kya talash-e-ab-o-dana chhod dun
aakhirash is baat se kya lun murad
tum jo kahte ho zamana chhod dun


yaad aana chhod do tum bhi mujhe
main tumhein bhi yaad aana chhod dun
ya to khul ke bol dun ya chup rahun
zer-e-lab yun badbadana chhod dun


ba'is-e-ranj-o-alam hain mahfilen
sochta hun aana jaana chhod dun
