kahan tak waqt ke dariya ko hum thahra hua dekhen
ye hasrat hai ki in aankhon se kuchh hota hua dekhen

bahut muddat hui ye aarzu karte hue hum ko
kabhi manzar kahin hum koi an-dekha hua dekhen [...]

kisi ki yaad mein duniya ko hain bhulae hue
zamana guzra hai apna khayal aae hue

badi ajib khushi hai gham-e-mohabbat bhi
hansi labon pe magar dil pe chot khae hue [...]

tujh se bichhad kar kya hun main ab bahar aa kar dekh
himmat hai to meri haalat aankh mila kar dekh

sham hai gahri tez hawa hai sar pe khadi hai raat
rasta gae musafir ka ab diya jala kar dekh [...]

thake logon ko majburi mein chalte dekh leta hun
main bas ki khidkiyon se ye tamashe dekh leta hun

kabhi dil mein udasi ho to un mein ja nikalta hun
purane doston ko chup se baithe dekh leta hun [...]

gham-ha-e-mohabbat ka asar dekh raha hun
bikhre hue daman pe guhar dekh raha hun

ai husn-e-rukh-e-yar jidhar dekh raha hun
ek hasb-e-takhayyul o nazar dekh raha hun [...]

tum aaina hi na har bar dekhte jao
meri taraf bhi to sarkar dekhte jao

na jao haal-e-dil-e-zar dekhte jao
ki ji na chahe to na-chaar dekhte jao [...]
