wo ye kahte hain zamane ki tamanna main hun
kya koi aur bhi aisa hai ki jaisa main hun

apne bimar-e-mohabbat ka mudawa na hua
aur phir is pe ye dawa ki masiha main hun

aks se apne wo yun kahte hain aaine mein
aap achchhe hain magar aap se achchha main hun

kahte hain wasl mein sine se lipat kar mere
sach kaho dil tumhein pyara hai ki pyara main hun

wo satata hai alag charkh-e-sitam-gar alag
saikdon dushman-e-jaan hain mere tanha main hun

bakht bargashta wo naraaz zamana dushman
koi mera hai na ai 'hijr' kisi ka main hun
