ab lagta hai theek kaha tha ghalib ne badhte-badhte dard davaa ho jaata hai

kya bola mujhe KHud ko tumhaara nahin kehna ye baat kabhi mujhse dobara nahin kehna ye hukm bhi us jaan se pyaare ne diya hai kuchh bhi ho mujhe jaan se pyaara nahin kehna

dard aisa hai ki jee chahe hai zinda rahiye zindagi aisi ki mar jaane ko jee chahe hai

cigarette ki shakl men kabhi chaai ki shakl men ik pyaas hai ki jis..ko piye ja rahe hain ham

be-naam sa ye dard thehar kyun nahin jaata jo beet gaya hai vo guzar kyun nahin jaata

yahii zindagi museebat yahii zindagi masarrat yahii zindagi haqeeqat yahii zindagi fasana kabhi main hooñ tujhse naalaan kabhi mujhse tu pareshaan kabhi main tira hadf hooñ kabhi tu mira nishaana

humeen hain soz humeen saaz hain humeen naghma zaraa sambhal ke sar-e-bazm chhedna ham ko
