dar-haqiqat roz-o-shab ki talkhiyan jati rahin
zindagi se sab meri dilchaspiyan jati rahin

nam tha jab tak to hum par saikdon ilzam the
ho gae gumnam to ruswaiyan jati rahin

ab khayalon mein wo mere sath subh-o-sham hai
jab se wo bichhda hai sari duriyan jati rahin

is qadar tanhaiyon ne tod dala hai mujhe
jism se ho kar juda parchhaiyan jati rahin

tale pad jaenge honton par tumhaare soch lo
mere honton se agar khamoshiyan jati rahin

lag raha hai khatm hona chahta hai silsila
ab dil-e-nadan ki betabiyan jati rahin
