mar chuka hai dil magar zinda hooñ main zahar jaisi kuchh dawaayein chahiye poochhte hain aap aap achchhe to hain jee main achha hooñ duaaein chahiye

kitaaben band karke jab main bistar par pahunchta hooñ tumhaari yaad bhi aakar bagal men late jaati hai

uljh karke teri agar men yuñ aabaad ho jaaun ki jaise lucknow ka main ameenabad ho jaaun main yamuna ki tarah tanhaa nihaaru taaj ko kab tak koi ganga mile to main ilahaabad ho jaaun

rahne ko sadaa dehr men aata nahin koi tum jaise ga.e aise bhi jaata nahin koi

laut jaati hai udhar ko bhi nazar kya kijeye ab bhi dilkash hai teraa husn magar kya kijeye

teesra shakhs meraa masla tha teesra shakhs main hi niklaa tha

haajma ho to tere jaisa ho qasmen vaade pacha ke baithi hai

kitna dilkash tha vo zam aanaa bhi eid thii chhat pe teraa aanaa bhi

ab to har baat se dar lagta hai apne haalaat se dar lagta hai raushni bhaati nahin aankhoñ ko chaandni raat se dar lagta hai

tere khaatir hua hoon aise ruswa ajab obaash ban kar rah gaya hoon ki meri rooh to tum maar dale main zinda laash ban kar rah gaya hoon
