yaad rakhne ka bhi wada ho zaruri to nahin
bhul jaane ka irada ho zaruri to nahin

nam achchha sa koi hum ne rakha hai likh kar
dil ka kaghaz abhi sada ho zaruri to nahin

is tabassum ko mere dukh ki alamat na samajh
ye kisi gham ka labaada ho zaruri to nahin

yunhi ek bar kabhi ek nazar dali thi
us ko ehsas ziyaada ho zaruri to nahin

han hisab-e-gham-e-dauran to bahut mushkil hai
aur phir us ka iada ho zaruri to nahin

besh-qimat hai bahut surkhi-e-khun-e-dil bhi
ru-ba-ru jam mein baada ho zaruri to nahin

sari duniya ke khazane bhi mayassar hon jise
hath bhi us ka kushada ho zaruri to nahin
