Qafan Ko Utha Kar Deedar Kar Lo,
Band Ho Gayi Hai Woh Aankhein Jinko Tum Rulaya Karte The!
Udas Na Baitho Fiza Tang Karegi,
Guzre Hue Lamhon Ki Saza Tang Karegi;
Kisi Ko Na Lao Dil Ke Itna Qareeb,
Kyon Ki Uske Jane Ke Baad Uski Har Ada Tang Karegi!
Wisaal, Hijr, Wafa, Fikr, Dard Mazboori;
Zara Si Umar Mein Kitne Zamane Aate Hain!
Ek Dard Chhupa Rakha Hai, Barson Se Dil Mein,
Dil Karta Hai Aaj Keh Dun Bhari Mehfil Mein;
Kyon Aisa Lagta Hai Ki, Mere Raaste Mujhse Juda Hain,
Aaj Bhi Kyon Meri Manzil Mujhse Khafa Hai!
Toot Jate Hain Bikhar Jate Hain,
Kaanch Ke Ghar Hain Muqaddar Apne;
Ajnabi To Sada Pyaar Se Milte Hain,
Bhool Jate Hain To Aksar Apne!
Chhod Diya Hai Qismat Ki Lakiron Par Yakeen Karna,
Jab Log Badal Sakte Hain Toh Qismat Kya Cheez Hai!
Kaha Koi Aisa Mila Jis Par Dil Luta Dete,
Har Ek Ne Dhokha Diya Kis-Kis Ko Bhula Dete;
Hum Apna Gham Dil Mein Dabaye Phirte Hai,
Karte Hai Bayan Toh Mehfil Ko Rula Dete Hain!
Mujhe Udas Dekh Kar Usne Kaha,
Mere Hote Hue Tumhein Koi Dukh Nahi De Sakta;
Phir Kuch Aisa Hi Hua Baad Mein,
Jitne Bhi Dukh Mile Sab Ussi Ke Hue!
Aane Wali Hai Kya Bala Sar Par;
Aaj Phir Dil Mein Dard Hai Kam Kam!
Barson Baad Mila To Puchne Lage Ki Tum Kaun Ho;
Bichadte Waqt Jis Ne Kaha Tha Ki Tum Bohat Yaad Aaoge!
