Daaman mein aaye kaante phool kahin

kho gaye,

Aaj mehboob bhi hamare humse judaa

ho gaye.

Kitna bebas ho gaya hoon aaj is shaam

mein,

chhodkar dost mere humein tanha maikhane

ko gaye.

Koi shikwa koi shikayat nahin hai kisi se,

saamne nazron ke meri zindagi le woh gaye.

Woh shaks kabhie humpe meherbaan hua

karta tha,

taqdeer ki baat hai aaj sabb so gaye.

Dekho dhoom se nikli hai mayyat zindagi ki,

is kadar zakhm mile ke raqeeb bhi ro gaye.
