Yaar jo bhi mila dil jala kar gaya

Khaak main meri hasthi mila kar gaya

Pyaas jiski sada mai bhujatha raha

Zahere-katil mujhe wo pila kar gaya

Naaz uski wafa per mujhe tha magar

Teer woh bhi jigar per chala kar gaya

Doondta tha kabhi jo mujhe her gali

Aankh wo aaj mujhse bacha kar gaya

Mangta tha sahara jo herdam mujhe

Besahara mujhe wo bana kar gaya

Neend aagosh main jiski aane lagi

Maut ki neend mujh ko sula kar gaya

Aarzoo thi ‘Yaaro’ kisii ki mujhe,

Kwaab mere wahi to mita kar gaya
