Zakhm-e-ummiid bhar gayaa kab kaa
Qais to apne ghar gayaa kab kaa
Aap ik aur niind le liijiye
Qaafilaa kuuch kar gayaa kab kaa
Dukh ka lamhaa azal abad lamhaa
Vaqt ke paar utar gayaa kab kaa
Apna muunh ab to mat dikhaoa mujhe
Naasiho, main sudhar gayaa kab kaa
Nasshaa hone kaa be-tarah thaa kabhi
Par vo zaalim utar gayaa kab kaa
Aap ab puuchney ko aaye hain?
Dil merii jaan, mar gayaa kab kaa

Bhulaakar hume who khush reh paayenge
Saath me nahin toh mere jaane ke baad
Muskuraayenge
Duva hai khuda se ke unhe kabhi zakhm na de
Hum toh she gaye, par who toot jaayenge

Hum ko junun kya sikhalate ho hum the pareshan
Tumase ziyada
Chak kiye hain hum ne azizon char gareban
Tumase ziyada
Chak-e-jigar muhataj-e-rafu hai aj to daman sirf
Lahu hai
Ek mausam tha hum ko raha hai shauq-e-baharan
Tumase ziyada
Jao tum apni bam ke khatir sari laven shamon ke
Katar lo
Zakhmon ke mahar-o-mah salamat jashn-e-
Chiragan tumase ziyada

Hum bhi hamesha qatl hue and tum ne bhi dekha
Dur se lekin
Ye na samajhe hamako hua hai jan ka nukasan
Tumase ziyada
Zanjir-o-divar hi dekhi tumane to “majrooh” magar
Hum
Kucha-kucha dekh rahe hain aalanm-e-zindan
Tumase ziyada

Kabhi to khul ke baras abr-e-meharaban ke tarah
Mera vajud hai jalate hue makan ke tarah
Bhari bahar ka sina hai zakhm zakhm magar
Saba ne gaye hain lori shafiq man ke tarah
Wo kon tha jo barahana badan chattanon se
Lipat gaya tha kabhi bahr-e-bekaran ke tarah
Sakut-e-dil to jazira hai barf ka lekin
Tera khulus hai suraj ke sayeban ke tarah
Main ik khwab sahi aap ke amanat hun
Mujhe sambhal ke rakhiyega jism-o-jan ke tarah

Har yaad ko youn zakham banatay nahin dil ka,
Har teer ko paivest rug-e-jaan nahin kertay,
Yeh masla ab ahal-e-mohabbat ka hai apna,
Mertay hain to kuch aap pay ahsaan nahin
Kertay,
Khat layain na layain tera hum naama bron ko,
Bus daikhtay rehtay hain paraishan nahin kartay,
Aisay bhi tou rakhtay nahin khanjar pay gulo ko,
Itna bhi to qatil ko pashaiman nahin kartay,
