apne apne hi khol mein hum tum
kaise khud ko chhupa ke baith gae

hum ko apni ana ka pas raha
aur sare khayal bhul gae

khwab jo hum ne sath dekhe the
sare wo kaise tar tar hue

sare wade wafa ke tut gae
aur arman sab hi khak hue

dekhne mein to main shagufta hun
tum bhi shadab sab ko lagte ho

ek haqiqat magar main jaanti hun
ye ba-zahir nazar jo aata hai

aaina wo hamare dil ka nahin
hum to ek dusre ki furqat mein

zinda rahna muhaal kahte the
aks wo bhi hamari zat ka tha

aks ye bhi hamari zat ka hai
hai udasi to chaaron-samt magar

zeb-tan kar ke khol khushiyon ka
hum ko apna bharam bhi rakhna hai

chahe gham ke pahad jitne giren
bas ana ko bahaal rakhna hai
