khizan jo aai bahaaron ne sath chhod diya
pada jo waqt to yaron ne sath chhod diya

gila karen bhi to ghairon ka kis tarah se karen
hamara jab ki hamaron ne sath chhod diya

jinhon ne apna banaya tha zindagi mein kabhi
unhin hasin sahaaron ne sath chhod diya

tamam raat sitaron se guftugu mein kati
sahar hui to sitaron ne sath chhod diya

main khud hi gharq-e-tamanna hua hun ai 'mahir'
wo kah rahe hain kinaron ne sath chhod diya
