Batane Wale Wahin Par Batate Hain Manzil;
Jahan Se Hazaar Baar Guzar Chuka Hun Main!
Jise Shiddat Se Chaho Woh Muddat Se Milta Hai;
Bas Muddaton Se Nahi Mila Koi Shiddat Se Chahne Wala!
Sochta Raha Ye Raat Bhar Karvat Badal Badal Kar;
Jane Woh Kyon Badal Gaya, Mujhko Itna Badal Kar!
Apne Halaat Se Main Sulah Toh Kar Loon Lekin,
Mujh Mein Rooh-Posh Jo Ek Shakhs Hai Mar Jaye Ga!
Kitni Achhi Lagti Hai Kisi Se Mohabbat Ki Ibtedaa;
Dard To Tab Hota Hai Jab Koi Apna Bana Ke Chodd De!
Hauslon Ka Saboot Dena Tha;
Thokrein Kha Kar Muskurana Pad Geya!
Ham Kash-M-Kash-E-Gham Se Guzar Kyon Nahin Jaate;
Marna To Ba-Har-Haal Hai Mar Kyon Nahi Jaate!
Waqt Bahut Kuch Cheen Leta Hai,
Khair Meri To Sirf Muskurahat Thi!
Bahut Udaas Hai Koi Tere Jaane Se,
Ho Sake To Laut Aa Kisi Bahane Se;
Tu Lakh Khafa Sahi Par Ek Baar To Dekh,
Koi Toot Sa Gaya Tere Rooth Jane Se!
Har Sapna Khushi Pane Se Pura Nahi Hota,
Koi Kisi Ke Bina Adhura Nahi Hota;
Jo Chand Roshan Karta Hai Raat Bhar Sab Ko,
Har Raat Woh Bhi To Poora Nahi Hota!
