Bohat koshish ki magar faasila mitaa na saka..

Bohat koshish ki magar faasila mitaa na saka,
Main lamha bhar ke liye bhi us ko apnaa na saka,

Yun to zindagi ke safar mein keyi humsafar miley humko,
Lekin us ki tarah dil mein koi ghar banaa na saka,

Lagtaa tha dar mujhe tanhaai se bohat,
Shayed issi liye doston ko azmaa na saka,

Is se barh kar aur kya ho, meri mohabbat ka saboot,
Jis ne ghar jalaya mera, uss ke khat tak jalaa na saka,

Barson mene ki thi jis ke qurb ki khawhish Waqas,
Aj woh mera muntazir tha, magar mein qadam barhaa na saka..
