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

raatein kisi yaad men kattee hain aur din daftar kha jaata hai dil jeene par mael hota hai to maut ka dar kha jaata hai sach poochho to tahzeeb haafi main aise dost se aaziz hooñ milta hai to baat nahin karta aur phone pe sar kha jaata hai

ghar men bhi dil nahin lag raha kaam par bhi nahin ja raha jaane kya KHauf hai jo tujhe choom kar bhi nahin ja raha raat ke teen bajne ko hai yaar ye kaisa mahboob hai jo gale bhi nahin lag raha aur ghar bhi nahin ja raha

maine jo kuchh bhi socha hua hai main vo vaqt aane pe kar jaaunga tum mujhe zahar lagte ho aur main kisi din tumhein pee ke mar jaaunga

le de ke apne paas faqat ik nazar to hai kyun dekhen zindagi ko kisi ki nazar se ham

sab kahaan kuchh laala-o-gul men numayaan ho gaiin KHaak men kya sooraten hongi ki pinhaan ho gaiin

koii veeraani sii veeraani hai dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aaya

bedaad-e-ishq se nahin dartaa magar asad jis dil pe naaz tha mujhe vo dil nahin raha

kii mere qatl ke baad us ne jafa se tauba haaye us zood-pasheemaan ka pasheemaan hona

na sataish kii tamannaa na sile kii parwa gar nahin hain mire ashaar men ma'ni na sahi
