hui muddat ki ghalib mar gaya par yaad aata hai vo har ik baat par kehna ki yuñ hota to kya hota

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

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

kaisa dil aur is ke kya gham jee yuñ hi baatein banaate hain ham jee

muddaton baad ik shaKHs se milne ke li.e aaina dekha gaya baal sanwaare ga.e

zinda raha main aaj bhi yaaron gazab ki baat hai mazloom hai bakhsha gaya kya khoobsurat raat hai

zindagi barbaad hoti hai KHushi ko dhoondhte gar nikalte dhoondhne dukh ko mili hoti KHushi

vahii manzar ki baashinda kabhi ghar ja nahin paaya lage khaali magar ghar men bhara bhandaar khaalipan

ye shahar shor-sharaaba bahut sunaata hai magar pukaaroon kise to sukoot kaafi hai

rah musavvir ko zaroorat dekhkar tumko banaaye main bina dekhe banaa doon har dafa shehkaar tumhein
