safha-e-zist jab padhunga tumhein
der tak chumta rahunga tumhein

tum bhale dekhte raho sab ko
main chhupa kar kahin rakhunga tumhein

tum bane ho bane raho khushbu
main kisi roz le udunga tumhein

rag ho, dil ki dhadkanon ka rag
samne baith kar sununga tumhein

dekhna dekhte hue mujh ko
kis tarah aankh mein bharunga tumhein

jao chhupte phiro gurez karo
ek din main bhi dekh lunga tumhein

tum bahut dur ja chuke hoge
main kahan dhundhta phirunga tumhein

ek din ahmad-'ata' bhi khwab hua
kah gaya khwab mein milunga tumhein
