sau sau umeedein bandhti hai ik ik nigaah par mujh ko na aise pyaar se dekha kare koi

zikr har-soo bikhar gaya uskaa koi deewaana mar gaya uskaa usne jee bhar ke mujh...ko chaaha tha aur phir jee hi bhar gaya uskaa

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

koii kaanta koii patthar nahin hai to phir tu seedhe raste par nahin hai main is duniya ke andar rah raha hooñ magar duniya mere andar nahin hai

ham bhi gaav men shaam ko baitha karte the hamko bhi haalaat ne baahar bheja hai

jis taraf tu hai udhar hongi sabhi ki nazrein eed ke chaand ka deedaar bahaana hi sahi

vo jo geet tum ne suna nahin meri umr bhar ka riyaaz tha mere dard ki thii vo dastaan jise tum hañsi men uda ga.e

sawaal ye hai ki aapas men ham milen kaise hamesha saath to chalte hain do kinaare bhi

kahaan aa ke rukne the raaste kahaan mod tha use bhool ja vo jo mil gaya use yaad rakh jo nahin mila use bhool ja

vo tire naseeb ki baarishen kisi aur chat pe baras gaiin dil-e-be-khabar mirii baat sun use bhool ja use bhool ja
