zindagi hai mere hathon mein taraazu ki tarah
waqt thahra hai meri aankhon mein aansu ki tarah

aaine mein mere chehre ka tera ho jaana
munh chidhata hai mujhe raat ke jadu ki tarah

main jahan jaun mahakta hai tasawwur tera
sath rahta hai wo ehsas ki khushbu ki tarah

tere jaane pe ye ehsas hua hai aksar
khali khali si hai duniya mere pahlu ki tarah

jalti rakh aaya hun aankhen main kahin chaukhat par
teri rahon mein hai raushan kisi jugnu ki tarah

wasl ke ba'd bhi sunta hun hansi ko teri
der tak kan mein bajti hai wo ghunghru ki tarah
