sabhi ye puchhte rahte hain kya gum ho gaya hai
bata dun? mujh se khud apna pata gum ho gaya hai

tumhaare din mein ek rudad thi jo kho gai hai
hamari raat mein ek khwab tha, gum ho gaya hai

wo jis ke pech-o-kham mein dastan lipti hui thi
kahani mein kahin wo majra gum ho gaya hai

zara ahl-e-junun aao hamein rasta sujhao
yahan hum aql walon ka khuda gum ho gaya hai

nazar baqi hai lekin tab-e-nazzara nahin ab
sukhan baqi hai lekin muddaa gum ho gaya hai

mujhe dukh hai ki zakhm o ranj ke is jamghate mein
tumhaara aur mera waqia gum ho gaya hai

ye shiddat dard ki us ke na hone se na hoti
yaqinan aur kuchh us ke siwa gum ho gaya hai

wo jis ko khinchne se zat ki parten khulengi
hamari zindagi ka wo sira gum ho gaya hai

wo dar wa ho na ho, aazad o khud-bin hum kahan ke
palat aaen to samjho rasta gum ho gaya hai
