bojh uthae hue din raat kahan tak jata
zindagani mein tere sath kahan tak jata

mukhtasar ye ki main bosa bhi ghanimat samjha
yun bhi dauran-e-mulaqat kahan tak jata

subh hote hi sabhi ghar ko rawana honge
qissa-e-daur-e-kharabaat kahan tak jata

thak gaya tha main tere nam ko japte japte
le ke honton pe yahi baat kahan tak jata

chand tare to mere bas mein nahin hain 'azar'
phul laya hun mera hath kahan tak jata
