ishq ka faisla nahin hota
muddaa bhi ada nahin hota

bhul jata hun sab gunah ke waqt
jaise mera khuda nahin hota

kaun samjhega dil ki betabi
us pe jab aasra nahin hota

ghair se milte hain wo chhup chhup kar
goya mujh ko pata nahin hota

dam-e-akhir bhi wo na aae 'hayat'
ye bhi mujh se gila nahin hota
