Ye bhi ek daur hai

Ye bhi ek daur hai

Ye bhi guzar jaayega

Ye mast kharamaan waqt

Apni chaal badal jaayega

Is jism ka her ansar

Qatra qatra pighal jaayega

Be-khwaab in raaton say

Her khwaab nikal jaayega

rang badalte chehron ka

ek aur rang dhal jaayega

zakhm puraane kehte hain

Naya her derd behal jaayega

Zindgi ek musafir ka quba

musafir chola badal jaayega

mai ek haqeeqat hun abhi

mujh per bhi ye kal aayega

Ye Dewanon ke khugar hain

Yaadon ke khaakon may

Aaj bhi chund taaza rang

naqsh-e-faryaadi ban kar

sana-kaari ka mazhar hain

ek be-rang si zindgani ka

ek az sar-e-nau jawaani ka

ek naii dil-kash kahani ka

ye khayal pas manzar hain

inhi se udhar dilkashi le kar

sajte hain khwab ye mosam

khahishon ke safar per in ki

udanen be-baal-o-par hain

kabhi hosh ke dushman ye

kabhi maikash ka pyala ye

kabhi pyaase ka dilasa ye

ye dewanon ke khugar hain

Guzre mosamon ki

Guzre mosamon ki

Saughaat naii le kar

Phir lo aagaye hain

Wahi qafiley bahaar ke

Veeraan gulshanon ko

Mil gaye hain ishaare

Hum hain tumharey

Wahi Saathi pyaar ke

Na ahad hai wapsi ka

Na ummid ka safar hai

Phir bhi humsafar hain

Wahi saaye etebaar ke

Derd Saahilon ka purana

Darya apne safar ka aadi

Tufaan ke maajhion se

wahi naate dulaar ke

her lamha naii kahani

deewanon ki eksi zindgani

ishq aur bekhudi ke

wahi rishte khumaar ke

Mai ishq ki surat hun zarur

Ya sada thi ek khayal ki

Ek khayaal ki thi ibtida

Khayaal hi khayaal may

Taraash liya ek dilruba

Ab zamaane se kya kahun

Khayaal ko tu kaise mila

Raaz-e-haq jaanta nahi koi

Izhaar usi se hua tha barmala

Mai ishq ki surat hun zarur

Mai hun niyaton ka sila

Mera aks tera khayaal hai

Tera Dil hoga meri sada

Qaasid hun tera pyaam hun

Tera lafz lafz meri dua

Ajib dastaan hai ye zindgi

Her arzu may khuda mila

Jub khayaal rubaru hogaya

Phir koii perda na raha

Aain qudrat ke ek rukn ka

Mera sukhan hai silsila
