umr guzri hai sahaare nahin badle main ne
jo piyare hain wo pyare nahin badle main ne

wahi aakash wahi raat ki chadar sar par
chand ko dekh ke tare nahin badle main ne

nile pile se ye lamhat hain jagir meri
hijr mein apne ishaare nahin badle main ne

muddaton baad teri yaad ke maile kapde
kuchh badal bhi diye sare nahin badle main ne

main nadi thi to mere sath kinara tu tha
sath bahti rahi dhaare nahin badle main ne

khwab ko subh ki dahliz pe le aai hun
aankh kholi hai nazare nahin badle main ne

tere khwabon se hi raushan raha ye dil ka 'diya'
hijr mein khwab tumhaare nahin badle main ne
