abhi tak talKHi-e-mai mein kami malum hoti hai

abhi tak talkhi-e-mai mein kami ma'lum hoti hai
labon par ek bala ki tishnagi ma'lum hoti hai
tasawwur mein tumhaari muskurahat rach gai shayad
mujhe har shai masarrat se bhari ma'lum hoti hai


suna hai zindagi mein kashmakash se log darte hain
mujhe to kashmakash hi zindagi ma'lum hoti hai
meri ma'sumiyat to dekh lo fart-e-mohabbat mein
tumhaari be-rukhi bhi dil-lagi ma'lum hoti hai


khulus-e-dil se kya jazba numayan kar diya tum ne
ki har surat mujhe kuchh ajnabi ma'lum hoti hai
kisi ki dosti mein dushmani ki bu to kya aae
mujhe to dushmani bhi dosti ma'lum hoti hai
