wo jin ke pyar mein hum khud ko hain bhulae hue
ghazab hai dil wahi auron se hain lagae hue

kisi ka gham hain kaleje se hum lagae hue
zamana bit gaya hum ko muskurae hue

kisi ki kaise ho pahchan is zamane mein
ki asl chehra to hai aadmi chhupae hue

wo bar-e-gham ki malaik jise utha na sake
wo bar-e-gham bhi hai zat-e-bashar uthae hue

wo nag jis ne ki pichha kiya tha kal mera
wo aaj phir hai taaqub mein phan uthae hue

zaban hi nahin khulti ki haal-e-dil kah dun
na jaane kab se 'nazar' baithe hain wo aae hue
