tum mere shahr mein aate ho chale jate ho
dil pe ek zakhm lagate ho chale jate ho

tum se mil kar bhi koi baat nahin ho pati
sirf apni hi sunate ho chale jate ho

main ki asbab-e-safar bandh ke aa jati hun
tum nai rah dikhate ho chale jate ho

mausam-e-gul ke utarte hi mere aangan mein
hijr ka git sunate ho chale jate ho

aaj ki sham tere nam rahegi meri
aise kuchh jhut sunate ho chale jate ho

ruth jaun to faqat ek tabassum de kar
sare shikwe hi bhulate ho chale jate ho
