zara mohtat hona chahiye tha
baghair ashkon ke rona chahiye tha

ab un ko yaad kar ke ro rahe hain
bichhadte waqt rona chahiye tha

meri wada-khilafi par wo chup hai
use naraaz hona chahiye tha

chala aata yaqinan khwab mein wo
hamein kal raat sona chahiye tha

sui dhaga mohabbat ne diya tha
to kuchh sina pirona chahiye tha

hamara haal tum bhi puchhte ho
tumhein malum hona chahiye tha

wafa majbur tum ko kar rahi thi
to phir majbur hona chahiye tha
