ashkon ne samundar mein ek aag lagai hai
pani pe sitam-gar ki taswir banai hai

is dil ne rulaya hai ek bar mujhe phir se
is dil ne mujhe phir se wo yaad dilai hai

ye kaisi judai hai jo khatm nahin hoti
ye kaisi udasi hai is dil pe jo chhai hai

main ne hi mohabbat ka izhaar kiya pahle
main ne hi use ja kar ye baat batai hai

mushkil se guzara hai is dil ne bahut mujh ko
is dil ko agar teri kuchh yaad bhi aai hai

ek kaam ka hum ne bhi ye kaam kiya hai bas
ek nam ki shohrat hi bas hum ne kamai hai

bas main ne 'waqas' us ko is dil mein basaya hai
bas main ne 'waqas' us se ye baat chhupai hai
