ye bhi mumkin hai ki aankhen ho tamasha hi na ho
ras aane lage hum ko to ye duniya hi na ho

zindagi chahen to khwabon se siwa kuchh na mile
dubna chahen to hasil hamein dariya hi na ho

dil ko khush karne ko dhunde hain bahane hum ne
ab palat kar zara dekhen kahin aaya hi na ho

ab to bas saat-e-gum-karda ki yaaden baqi
ye wo jangal hai ki jis mein koi rasta hi na ho

kaam kya dega wo tuta hua aaina bhi
yaad rakhne ko wahi aks wo chehra hi na ho

hijr ko shauq-e-mudawa hi samajh kar ji len
zindagi tujh se ulajhne ka to yara hi na ho
