Kabhi qurbat ke lamhon main thhikana bhool jatay hain

Kabhi qurbat ke lamhon main thhikana bhool jatay hain
Kabhi furqat ka teri hum fasaana bhool jatay hain

Sitam hay ye mohabat main tum jisko isqadar chaho
Oosi ke aarzo main hum zamana bhool jatay hain

Chhupa kar baithh jatay hain naseebon ka diya zaiwer
Kabhi tujhko kabhi khud ko dikhana bhool jatay hain

Bas apni zaat main kho kar apna he ziker karna
Kisi doojay ka koe gham othhana bhool jatay hain

Ser-e-mehraab jaltay hon chiragh-e-gham andhairon main
Hum apnay aansowon ko phir dabana bhool jatay hain

Shroo jo ho wafa k naam per hum aisay rishtay ko
Khatam karkay wafa’on ka zamana bhool jatay hain

Tumhari aarzo main hum hooway roswa zamanay main
Ye marg-e-jaan say pehlay batana bhool jatay hain

Shaukat yaad rakhtay hain hum apnay dil ke halat ko
Magar apni khata’on ko dikhana bhool jatay hain
