junun mein dhyan se aakhir phisal gai koi shai
na jaane kis ki dua se sambhal gai koi shai

abhi abhi meri aankhon mein kuchh dhuan sa utha
abhi abhi mere sine mein jal gai koi shai

bahut sambhaal ke rakhne ki hum ne koshish ki
hamare hath se phir bhi nikal gai koi shai

main jab bhi dekhta hun zindagi ka pichhla waraq
to aisa lagta hai dil mein kuchal gai koi shai

hamari zindagi garche thi muntashir pahle
jo waqt aaya to sanche mein dhal gai koi shai

na koi zauq-e-tamasha na koi rang-e-hayat
zaruraton ke bahane badal gai koi shai
