Har duaa qubool nhi hoti
aur har aarzoo poori nhi hoti
jisske dil me "aap" jaisa dost rehta ho
usske liye dhadkan bhi zaroori nhi hoti

Zindgi khubsurat hai par mujhe jena nahi ata,
har chej mein nasa hai par mujhe pina nahi ata,
aap mere bina jee sakte ho,
par mujhe aap ke bina jena nahi ata.

Ishq mohabbat toh hazaron karte
hain, gham e judai se woh sabhi
darte hain, hum toh na ishq
karte hain, na mohabbat karte
hain, hum toh bas dosto ki
ek muskurahat par marte hain.

Dur reh kr qareeb
kitny hyn
faasly bhi ajeeb
kitny hyn
dard-e-dil ki dawa
nhi werna
is jahan main tabeeb
kitny hyn
umar bhar saath jo
rahe tere
us k achy naseeb
kitny hyn
kyun na aaya main
tere sapno'n main ?
mere shikway bhi
ajeeb kitny hyn

Jaan di, di hui usi ki thi
haq to yu hai ke haq adaa na hua
zakhm gar dab gayaa lahuu na thamaa
kaam gar ruk gaya rawa na hua
rahazani hai ki dil-sitaanee hai
leke dil, dil-sitaa rawa na huaa
kuch to parhiye ki log kahate hai
aaj ‘ghalib' gazal-saraa na huaa

Dosti tarazu me toli nahi jati,
mohabbat shabdo me boli nahi jati
ye aankho ki zuban hai dost
dhadkano ke bina samjhi nahi jati.
