Ek ajeeb sa khula hai
Akhir aisa kyon bhala hai
Jisey bhi kuch mila hai
Bas yehin pe mila hai
-------------------------------
shab-o-roz ki musalsal
amad-o-raft bhi na badli
bas hum badal gaye hain
chachahati zindagi say
apni udaanein nikal gaii hain
kya khoob din they vo bhi
lagta hai din badal gaye hain
chahaton ki chathon say
risti huii udasiyon may
hum khamosh dhal gaye hain
kya koi khushgawar mosam
humein bhi kabhi mila tha
mohabbaton ki baarishon may
kya kabhi ye dil jala tha
haan yaad kar rahe hain
jugnuon chaand taaron ki humnasheeni
kabhi hum bhi they teri sangaton may
bojhal madhoshiyon ke haseen jhuley
sehen-e-dil per ab bhi padey huye hain
magar khayal khud may simat gaye hain
kya waqt ki badalti hai chaal yon bhi
yaadon may bhi sab bikher gaya hai
aah zindagi tu tou waqi mokhtasar hai
khud tujh ko kal ki khabar nahi hai
tune chin lein mujh se meri bahahrein
na vo khwab baqi na unke sahaarey
laikin itna zarur aye dil hua hai
dil ki kashti lag gaii kinaarey
teri muskurahaton ne kaha hai
tere yaqeen ko manzil mili hai
deewanon ki gali hi rab ki gali hai
derd ke maaron ko saughat ye mili hai
