baat karo roothe yaaron se sannaaton se dar jaate hain pyaar akelaa jee leta hai dost akelaa mar jaate hain

tum un ke wa'de ka zikr un se kyun karo ghalib ye kya ki tum kaho aur vo kahein ki yaad nahin

vo dulhan ban ke ruksat ho gaii hai kahaan tak car ka peecha karoge

toofaanon se aankh milaao sailaabon pe vaar karo mallaahon ka chakkar chhodo tair ke dariyaa paar karo

shaakhon se toot jaayen vo patte nahin hain ham aandhi se koi kah de ki auqaat men rahe

jaisa dikhaai dene kii karte ho koshishein main khoob jaanta hooñ ki aise nahin ho tum

raat to vaqt kii paaband hai dhal jaayegi dekhna ye hai charaaghon ka safar kitna hai

dhoop ke ek hi mausam ne jinhen tod diya itne naazuk bhi ye rishte na banaaye hote

tumhaara pyaar to saanson men saans leta hai jo hota nashsha to ik din utar nahin jaata

sab ke chehre pe jo tanqeed kiya karte hain aaina un ko dikha do to mazaa aa jaa.e
