ai maut! u.nhe.n bhulaaye zamaane guzar gaye
aisaa nahii.n ki un se mohabbat nahii.n rahii
bujh gayaa dil hayaat baaqii hai
durii ke Gam kuchh aur sivaa ho ke rah gaye New
ek pal me.n ek sadii kaa mazaa ham se puuchhiye
haal-e-Gam unako sunaate jaayiye
ham u.nhe.n vo hame.n bhulaa baiThe
ha.Nsane vaale ab ek kaam kare.n New
hijr kii shab hai aur ujaalaa hai New
husn jab meharbaa.N ho to kyaa kiijiye
kabhii jo mai.n ne musarrat kaa ehatamaam kiyaa
kyaa huaa husn ham-safar hai yaa nahii.n
mujhako shikast-e-dil kaa mazaa yaad aa gayaa
na haaraa hai ishq na duniyaa thakii hai
tasviir banaataa huu.N, tasviir nahii.n banatii
vahii phir mujhe yaad aane lage hai.n
vo hame.n jis qadar aazamaate rahe
vo sivaa yaad aaye bhulaane ke baad
