main tujh se apni rafaqaton ka hisab likkhun
to aankhon aankhon hasin rangon ke khwab likkhun

bichhad ke tujh se tujhi ko sochon tujhi ko chahun
ki nam tere hi apne dil ki kitab likkhun

na kuchh samajh mein jo aae dil ki to ro padun main
ki hijr mein ye guzarte lamhe azab likkhun

ye meri khana-kharabiyon pe sawal utthe
chale bhi aao ki dahr ko main jawab likkhun

hayat apni to khushk patti se khushk-tar hai
kabhi to yun hoga zindagi kaamyab likkhun

udas chehre pe yun chamakti hon meri aankhen
kabhi tabassum ke nam rang-e-gulab likkhun
