Mein gurez kya karta us ke sath chalne se

Mein gurez kya karta us ke sath chalne se,
Zakham to nahin bharta raaste badalne se,

Ishrat shabana to yaar ki razaa se hai,
Yeh khushi nahin milti sirf sham dhalne se,

Aarzuu ki chingaari kab tak sulag sakti,
Bujh gaya hai dil akhir bar bar jalne se,

Zindagi ka har mohra be-rukhi ke rukh par hai,
Yeh bisaat ultey gi aik chaal chalne se,

Doobta hua suraj kya mujhe ujaaley ga,
Main chamak uthoon shayed chand ke nikalne se..
