Zindagi Tujh Ko Bhulaya Hai Bahut Din Hum Ne

Zindagi tujh ko bhulaya hai bahut din hum ne,
Waqt khwabon mein ganwaya hai bahut din hum ne,

Ab ye neki bhi humein jurm nazar aati hai,
Sab ke aibo'n ko chhupaya hai bahut din hum ne,

Tum bhi is dil ko dukha lo to koi baat nahin,
Apna dil aap dukhaya hai bahut din hum ne,

Muddaton tark-e-tamanna pe lahu roya hai,
Ishq ka qarz chukaya hai bahut din hum ne,

Kya pata ho bhi sake is ki talaafi ke nahin,
Shaairi tujh ko ganwaya hai bahut din hum ne.!!
