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

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

laut kar nahin aata kabr se koi lekin pyaar karne waalon ko intzaar rehta hai

main us se ye to nahin kah raha juda na kare magar vo kar nahin saka to phir kaha na kare vo jaise chhod gaya tha mujhe use bhi kabhi KHuda kare ki koi chhod de KHuda na kare

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

ab ik teer bhi ho liya saath warna parinda chala tha safar par akelaa

main badan ko dard ke malboos pahnaata raha rooh tak phaili hui milti hai ur yaanii mujhe

har saal kii aakhiri shaamon men do chaar varq ud jaate hain ab aur na bikhre rishton kii bosida kitaab to achha ho

jin kii dard-bhari baaton se ek zamaana raam hua qasir aise fan-kaaron kii qismat men ban-baas raha
