guzre hue waqton se nikal kar dekha
aaj ka daur alahida to nahin hai

wo hi aawaz ke sae wo hi be-sharm sarab
aaj bhi maujud hain kal jaise kharab

chehre zara badle hain nai baat nahin hai
mana bite hue kal se nadamat hai mujhe

aisa kuchh bhi to nahin jis se aqidat hai mujhe
mazi wale kuchh bhi ho jine ka bahana hai mere

ek khwab mohabbat ka suhana hai mere
ab wo hi chhod ke jina hai to jina kya hai

han zara dard bhi ho leta hai gahe-gahe
aur jaan pe ban aati hai tab jab chahe

ye bhi lagta hai ke raste band hain sab
aur jine ki saja aakhir kab tak

par mere dost ye haal to mazi se bhi bad-tar hai
is mein nafrat ke ubaale hain bahut

is mein aahen fughan-o-nale hain bahut
jine ke liye marne ki zarurat hai bahut

tha to ye pahle bhi magar itna nahin tha
kuchh ka tha tuta hua har ek ka sapna nahin tha

mujh ko mere mazi mein fana rahne do
meri ulfat mere jine ka bahana hai bahut
