Rukhta bhi nahi theek se chalta bhi nahi hai
Ye dil ke tere baad sambhalta bhi nahi hai
Ye sheher kisi aina kirdaar badan par
ilzam lagate howe darta bhi nahi hai
Ik umar se hum is ki tamanna main hain be-khwaab
Wo chaand jo aangan main utrta bhi nahi hai
Phir dil mein teri yaad ke manzar hain firozaan
Aisay mein koi dekhnay walaa bhi nahi hai
Is umar ke sehra main teri yaad ka baadal
Talta bhi nahi aur barasta bhi nahi hai
Hamraah bhi khwaahish se nahi rehta hamare
Aur baam-e-rafaaqat se utarta bhi nahi hai...
