khali hathon mein mohabbat bantti rah jaungi
apne khali hath aakhir dekhti rah jaungi

kuch kar jaenge sab dasht-e-wafa se qafile
khwab aankhon mein liye main soi hi rah jaungi

bhul jaega koi mujh ko bujhane ka hunar
subh bhi aai to shab bhar se jali rah jaungi

paungi jurm-e-mohabbat ki anokhi si saza
waqt ke honton pe main ek an-kahi rah jaungi

tum ne chhoda hai to raste aur raushan ho gae
tum ye samjhe the ki raste mein khadi rah jaungi

wusat-e-aflak mein bhi nisbat-e-zohra kahan
tut kar bhi lamha bhar ki raushni rah jaungi

aaj socha hai ki khud raste banana sikh lun
is tarah to umr sari sochti rah jaungi
