kabhi to khwab kabhi ratjage se baaten kin
tere guman mein hum ne diye se baaten kin

rida-e-shab pe nae tarz se visal likha
bichhadne walon ne ek dusre se baaten kin

rahi na yaron se ummid gham-gusari ki
ghar aae girya kiya aaine se baaten kin

ajab mazaq hai hum ne khuda ke dhoke mein
tamam umr kisi waswase se baaten kin

janab-e-shaikh se ek bar samna ho jae
karega yaad kisi sar-phire se baaten kin

bahut adaq thin ibaraat zindagani ki
zara si der ruke hashiye se baaten kin

hamare honton pe pur-lutf qahqahe bikhre
hamari aankhon ne kitne maze se baaten kin

chale to chalte gae hath tham kar chup-chap
juda hue to bahut raste se baaten kin
