Zamane ki bheer me hum bhi tanha the

Aap ne dekha par sher gungunane me reh gaye

Manzar-e-Afsos ab nahi dekha jata mujhse

Ansu shayad mere yu hi anjane me beh gaye

Socha tha humne kehenge unke har asbaab baya

Par shoj-e-haya ke chalte khazana me reh gaye.

Har ek neend se maine tha khudko jagaya

Ab soya hu to armaan is diwane ke deh gaye.

Chalta hu ab ke waqt ho chala hai

Chupke se aye the wo ya chhupane me reh gaye

Aftaab wo jo harkat the is dil ki

Aaj kyu khud ko wo behlane me reh gaye
