tujh ko gar meri zarurat hai
to phir jaan-e-hayat

apne farsuda mohabbat ke khayalat badal
hijr o gham ranj-o-alam wasl o firaq

is kathin waqt mein
beja si shikayat na kar

dekh wo sab bhi to main
dekh ki pahuncha hun yahan

jis ko tu dekh le ek bar
to teri aankhen

umr bhar sakte ke aalam se na nikal paen
dekh main is ajab maqam pe

aane se qabl
aisi rahon se guzar aaya hun

jahan se tu
ek pal ko bhi jo guzre

to tere zakhm-e-pa
ban ke nasur tujhe

dard mein rakkhen har dam
dekh main chahat-o-ulfat ka to qail magar

har ek chiz har ek rishta zamane mein
mohabbat hai magar

dekh is waqt mere des mein
phaili hui hai

har taraf khun ki barud ki
nafrat ki phuwar

sun zara kone mein rote hue
bachche ki pukar

dekh barud ke hathon se ye
luthda hua jism

dekh rozi ko bhatakta hua
bachchon ka wo bap

dekh phir so gae
is des ke bachche bhuke

dekh us man ki taraf dekh
ki jis ki aankhen

nazren kho baithi hain rote hue
us aas pe ki

laut aaega wo us ka
jawan lal kabhi

ghar se nikla tha jo
hathon mein degreeyon ko liye

aaj tak laut ke aaya nahin
umren bitin

mujh ko ye dard rakha karte hain
nindon se pare

soch is dard mein
chahat ki kise khwahish ho

soch is dard mein rahat ki
kise khwahish ho

mujh ko jo karna hai
wo ab un ke liye karna hai

mujh ko jina hai to bas
un ke liye jina hai

main ne mana ki nahin aur koi
tujh sa hasin

par mujhe soch ki
is lahr ne aa ghera hai

jis se chhutkara meri jaan
ab mumkin hi nahin

tujh ko gar meri zarurat hai
to phir jaan-e-hayat

apne farsuda mohabbat ke khayalat badal
hath mein hath de

aur phir tu mere sath mein chal
