Muddat hui us jaan-e-haya ne hum se ye iqraar kiya,
Jitne bhi badnaam hue hum utna us ne pyaar kiya,
Pahle bhi khush-chashmon mein hum chaukanna se rahte the,
Teri soi aankhon ne to aur humein hoshiyaar kiya,
Jaate jaate koi hum se achchhe rahna kah to gaya,
Poochhe lekin poochhne waale kis ne ye beemar kiya,
Qatra qatra sirf hua hai ishq mein apne dil ka lahu,
Shakl dikhaai tab us ne jab aankhon ko khoon-baar kiya,
Hum par kitni baar pade ye daure bhi tanhaai ke,
Jo bhi hum se milne aaya milne se inkaar kiya,
Ishq mein kya nuqsaan nafa hai hum ko kya samjhate ho,
Hum ne saari umr hi yaaro dil ka karobaar kiya,
Mahfil par jab neend si chhaai sab ke sab khamosh hue,
Hum ne tab kuchh sheyr sunaya logon ko bedaar kiya,
Ab tum socho ab tum jaano jo chaho ab rang bharo,
Hum ne to ek naqsha kheencha ek khaaka taiyyaar kiya,
Desh se jab pardesh sidhaare hum par ye bhi waqt pada,
Nazmein chhogi ghazlein chhodi geeton ka bewpaar kiya.!!
