ye aksar talkh-kaami si rahi kya
mohabbat zak utha kar aai thi kya

na kasdam hain na afi hain na azhdar
milenge shahr mein insan hi kya

main ab har shakhs se ukta chuka hun
faqat kuchh dost hain aur dost bhi kya

ye rabt-e-be-shikayat aur ye main
jo shai sine mein thi wo bujh gai kya

mohabbat mein hamein pas-e-ana tha
badan ki ishtiha sadiq na thi kya

nahin hai ab mujhe tum par bharosa
tumhein mujh se mohabbat ho gai kya

jawab-e-bosa sach angdaiyan sach
to phir wo be-wafai jhut thi kya

shikast-e-e'timad-e-zat ke waqt
qayamat aa rahi thi aa gai kya
