muhabbat tark kii maiN ne garebaaN sii liyaa maiN ne

zamaane ab to Khush ho zahar ye bhii pii liyaa maiN ne

abhii zindah huN lekin sochataa rahtaa huuN Khalwat meiN

k ab tak kis tamannaa ke sahaare jii liyaa maiN ne

unheiN apnaa nahiiN saktaa magar itnaa bhii kyaa kam hai

k kuchh muddat hasiiN Kh(w)aaboN meiN kho kar jii liyaa maiN n

bas ab to daaman-e-dil chhoR do bekaar ummiido!

bahut sikh sah liyaa maiN ne bahut din jii liyaa maiN ne …
