tumhaare sath ye qissa kabhi kabhaar ka hai
magar ye hijr mere sath bar-bar ka hai

hamare darmiyan ek shak ki film hai jis mein
kahin kahin pe koi scene e'tibar ka hai

ye teri hum pe inayat hai ya chaman mein kisi
khizan-nasib ke hisse mein sukh bahaar ka hai

agar tu khud ko khula chhodta hai jaan-e-bahaar
to tujh pe haq tere pahle umid-war ka hai

ye tera jism hai ya rahguzar-e-gul hai koi
qaba ka band hai ya ped regzar ka hai

main dil ke bare mein itna hi jaan paya hun
kabhi ye ek ka hota tha ab hazar ka hai
