koi jab chhod jata hai to dil ki maut hoti hai
bahaaren be-sabab hain jab koi apna nahin hota

ye aankhen nind ki wadi mein ja kar laut aatin hain
wo wadi maut ki hoti hai aur sapna nahin hota

badan ko chahiye ek lothda garmaish-e-khun ko
na hota dil jo sine mein dhdakna bhi nahin hota

bahut do-chaar qadmon ki masafat tang karti hai
qadam ho jaen patthar ke to phir chalna nahin hota

mohabbat ke karam hain karb aur angare yaadon ke
agar hoti na ye zalim to phir jalna nahin hota

kisi ki yaad mein ji kar hazaron bar marte hain
agar na zindagi hoti kabhi marna nahin hota
