bahti hui aankhon ki rawani mein mare hain
kuchh khwab mere ain-jawani mein mare hain

rota hun main un lafzon ki qabron pe kai bar
jo lafz meri shola-bayani mein mare hain

kuchh tujh se ye duri bhi mujhe mar gai hai
kuchh jazbe mere naql-e-makani mein mare hain

qabron mein nahin hum ko kitabon mein utaro
hum log mohabbat ki kahani mein mare hain

is ishq ne aakhir hamein barbaad kiya hai
hum log isi khaulte pani mein mare hain

kuchh had se ziyaada tha hamein shauq-e-mohabbat
aur hum hi mohabbat ki girani mein mare hain
