Mujhe Yun Hi Tanha Rehne Ka Bahut Shauk Hai Ab;
Tum Yeh Mat Sochna Ki Intezaar Hai Tumhara!
Dard-o-Gham Hijr-o-Firaaq Gauhar Hain Hayat Ke;
Bas Sakoon Se Jo Guzar Jaye, Zindagi Nahi!
Kabhi Darr To Kabhi Raasta Dekhte Hain;
Tere Intezar Mein Har Dastaan Dekhte Hain!
Lazzat-e-Hijr Ae Jaan-e-Jaan Aur Bhi Badhti Gayi;
Teri Yaad Ki Baad-e-Saba Jab Dil Se Guzarti Gayi!
Dost Dushman Jitne The Sab Hain Aazmaye Maine;
Har Ik - Ik Shakhs Se Dhokhe Hain Khaye Maine!
Maut Ko Jab Aana Tha Aa Hi Gayi;
Zindagi Ki Tarah Usne Dhokha Nahi Diya!
Shakhon Se Toot Jayein Woh Patte Nahi Hain Hum;
Aandhi Se Koi Keh De Ki Auqat Mein Rahe!
Fir Kar Na Baithe Meri Zindagi Ki Dua Koi;
Mere Dushman Mere Janaze Mein Tum Shamil Rehna!
Ye Aag Ke Ghar Mein Rehne Ka Shaukeen Hai Bahut;
Ishq Ko Dil Ki Basti Mein Panah Mat Dena!
Nayab Kiya Ishq-o-Sukhan Ne Hamare;
Ab Khud Hi Pe Mar Jane Laga Hai Woh!
