Udaas Kar Deti Hai Har Roz Yeh Shaam Mujhe,
Lagta Hai Tu Bhool Raha Hai Mujhe Dheere-Dheere!
Ajeeb Andhera Hai Aye Ishq Teri Mehfil Mein,
Kisi Ne Dil Bhi Jalaya Toh Roshni Na Hui!
Nafratein Laakh Mili Par Mohabbat Na Mili,
Zindagi Beet Gayi Magar Rahat Na Mili;
Teri Mehfil Mein Har Ek Ko Hansta Dekha,
Ek Main Tha Jise Hansne Ki Izazat Na Mili!
Ab Jis Taraf Se Chahe Guzar Jaye Kaarwan,
Veeraniyan Toh Sab Mere Dil Mein Utar Gayi!
Kabhi Patthar Kaha Geya Toh Kabhi Sheesha Kaha Geya,
Dil Jaisi Ek Cheez Ko Kya-Kya Kaha Geya!
Unke Haathon Ne Chhu Liya Hoga Mujhko,
Varna Patthar Dil Kahan Pighalte Hain!
Maanga Karenge Ab Se Dua Hijr-e-Yaar Ki,
Aakhir Ko Dushmani Hai Dua Ki Asar Ke Saath!
Hazaar Baar Jo Maanga Karo Toh Kya Haasil,
Dua Wahi Hai Jo Dil Se Kabhi Nikalti Nahi!
Iss Mohabbat Ki Kitaab Ke Bas Do Hi Sabak Yaad Hue;
Kuch Tum Jaise Aabaad Hue Kuch Hum Jaise Barbaad Hun!
Khushbu Ki Tarah Aaya Woh Tez Hawaaon Mein,
Maanga Tha Jise Humne Din Raat Duaaon Mein;
Tum Chhat Pe Nahi Aaye Main Ghar Se Nahi Nikla,
Yeh Chaand Bahut Bhatka Saawan Ki Ghataaon Mein!
