gar talluq hi tark karna tha
mujh se phir pyar kyon kiya tu ne

muskuraati lajati aankhon se
ek iqrar kyon kiya tu ne

main ne kab tera pyar manga tha
main ne kab teri aarzu ki thi

main to khamosh tha falak ki tarah
main ne kab teri justuju ki thi

tu ne khud muskuraati aankhon se
mujh ko aawaz de ke chaunkaya

mere nazuk na-ashna dil ko
husn ka saz de ke chaunkaya

ab wo qasmen wo ahd wo wade
jaane kya ho gae khuda jaane

wo junun-khez aatishi jazbaat
ab kahan kho gae khuda jaane

jaane kyon ab teri hasin aankhen
meri jaanib kabhi nahin uthti

jaane kyon ab hasin galon par
phul ki pankhudiyan nahin khilti

gar talluq hi tark karna tha
kash pahle hi kah diya hota

aaj main apni zindagani se
is qadar dur na hua hota
