kabhee yoon milen koee masalehat, koee khauf dil mein zara na ho
mujhe apanee koee khabar na ho, tujhe apana koee pata na ho
vo firaaq ho ya visaal ho, teree yaad mahakegee ek din
vo gulaab ban ke khilega kya, jo chiraag ban ke jala na ho
kabhee dhoop de, kabhee badaliyaan, dilo-jaan se donon qubool hain
magar us nagar mein na qaid kar, jahaan zindagee ka hava na ho
vo hazaaron baagon ka baag ho, teree baraqaton kee bahaar se
jahaan koee shaakh haree na ho, jahaan koee phool khila na ho
tere ikhtiyaar mein kya nahin, mujhe is tarah se navaaz de
yoon duaayen meree qubool hon, mere dil mein koee dua na ho
kabhee ham bhee jis ke qareeb the, dilo-jaan se badhakar azeez the
magar aaj aise mila hai vo, kabhee pahale jaise mila na ho
