wo jis ko yaad rakhna tha zamana bhul jati hun
haqiqat jis mein ho aisa fasana bhul jati hun

meri yaadon ke gul-danon ko aakhir kya hua hai ye
hua jo par dil ke wo nishana bhul jati hun

meri baaton pe jab bhi wo khafa hone pe aata hai
main hans deti hun par us ko manana bhul jati hun

wo jab bhi phul le kar rah mein maujud hota hai
mujhe dekho main us raste pe jaana bhul jati hun

kisi titli ne mere kan mein chupke se kah dala
tumhein dekhun to main apna thikana bhul jati hun

bhari mahfil mein kah deti hun afsana mohabbat ka
guzarti hai jo dil par wo chhupana bhul jati hun

main apne dil mein itna narm gosha rakhti hun 'zarqa'
mohabbat mein kisi ko aazmana bhul jati hun
