hamare dil pe jo zakhmon ka bab likkha hai
isi mein waqt ka sara hisab likkha hai

kuchh aur kaam to hum se na ho saka lekin
tumhaare hijr ka ek ek azab likkha hai

suluk nashtaron jaisa na kijiye hum se
hamesha aap ko hum ne gulab likkha hai

tere wajud ko mahsus umr bhar hoga
tere labon pe jo hum ne jawab likkha hai

hua fasad to is mein nahin kisi ka qusur
hawa-e-shahr ne mausam kharab likkha hai

agar yaqin nahin to uthaiye tarikh
hamara nam ba-sad-ab-o-tab likkha hai
