hum ko yaad-e-yar mein hasil jo tanhai hui
tut kar barsi ghata jo dil pe thi chhai hui

zindagi jab se teri meri shanasai hui
tu tamasha ban gai aur main tamashai hui

aaenge sawan mein sajan le ke aai hai nawed
be-wajh phirti nahin purwai baurai hui

aap itna to samajhne ki kabhi zahmat karen
aap ki bhi meri ruswai se ruswai hui

jag utthe aaj lo phir ishq ke soe nasib
zindagi phir aaj us but ki tamannai hui

chhup gae hain mah-o-anjum har taraf hai khamushi
aa bhi ja ai yaad-e-rafta ab to tanhai hui

is qadar mazbut hai aain-e-ulfat ki giraft
kah nahin pati zaban par baat bhi aai hui

raat aae to na jaane kis tarah guzre 'nazar'
hai tabiat sham hi se aaj ghabrai hui
