hum tumhein yaad karte rahe
waqt barbaad karte rahe

sunne wala koi bhi na tha
phir bhi fariyaad karte rahe

kya bataen ki hum yar kya
hijr ke baad karte rahe

qaid se chhut kar ja-ba-ja
zikr-e-sayyaad karte rahe

kyunkar apnon ko nashad kar
ghair ko shad karte rahe

zakhm ko chhedte hi chale
dard ijad karte rahe

ho ke 'afrang' barbaad khud
kis ko aabaad karte rahe
