khud se nibah shaq hua hai kabhi kabhi
sara wajud chaq hua hai kabhi kabhi

dhunda use to khud se mulaqat ho gai
aisa bhi ittifaq hua hai kabhi kabhi

har zawiye se aks ko dekha hai aankh ne
har baat ka firaq hua hai kabhi kabhi

hail hai jo azal se mere haal-o-qal mein
wo bhi ayan nifaq hua hai kabhi kabhi

hanste hain jab bhi log to lagta hai yun mujhe
mujh se bhi ye mazaq hua hai kabhi kabhi

khamoshiyon ki tarz se bawar hua mujhe
dil be-hisi mein taq hua hai kabhi kabhi

'rahat' hai jis ki zat se rishta qarib ka
wo bhi aziz aaq hua hai kabhi kabhi
