baat kuchh bhi na thi fasana hua
meri ruswai ka bahana hua

thi ye khwahish kahenge sab kuchh hum
un ke aage to lab bhi wa na hua

roz aati hai ek nai aafat
dil mera jab se aashiqana hua

kyun tadapta hai phir dil-e-muztar
kis bala ka ye phir nishana hua

tu ne chhoda hai sath jab se nadim
hae dushman mera zamana hua

mar hi jaana tha hum ko to ek roz
un ki furqat magar bahana hua

aaj kahte hain bandh kar gathri
gham ki 'maghmum' phir rawana hua
