waqt-e-uftad kyon nahin aai
lab pe fariyaad kyon nahin aai

main tere shahr se bhi guzra tha
phir teri yaad kyon nahin aai

ghair to aae kandha dene ko
apni aulad kyon nahin aai

mere par katte hue tujh ko
maut sayyaad kyon nahin aai

dasht-e-majnun tha dil koi laila
karne aabaad kyon nahin aai

wo to be-shak 'amin' the tujh mein
khu-e-ajdad kyon nahin aai
