mawaqe ishq ke wo ab kahan hain
adaen yar ki dard-e-zaban hain

nahin banti hai aapas mein koi baat
hamare darmiyan kuchh talkhiyan hain

hamein milne nahin ab koi aata
muqaddar mein yahi tanhaiyan hain

hain ye bhi ek hissa zindagi ka
idhar dukh hain udhar shahnaiyan hain

palat kar ja nahin sakte watan mein
hamari rah mein barbaadiyan hain

na jao khud hamein padh lo sabaq lo
hami maghrib-zadon ki dastan hain

na khulwao mera munh anjuman mein
mere dil mein kai baaten nihan hain

wafa badhti hai jin rishton se ai dost
wahi rishte hamare darmiyan hain

nazar aata nahin sachchai ka lafz
ye kaise rahnumaon ke bayan hain
