jo hasin zist ki taswir dikhai sab ne
ek kahani thi suni aur sunai sab ne

sirf khwabon ka sarabon ka safar jite hain
zindagi ki jo haqiqat hai bhulai sab ne

khud bana kar wo nai rasm kaha karte hain
rasm to rasm hai phir rasm nibhai sab ne

khun de de ke jise sab ne bujhaya tha kabhi
jaane kyon phir se wahi aag lagai sab ne

ahl-e-dil ke liye kya jaan ki bazi 'mita'
jaan deni thi to phir jaan ganwai sab ne
