tamannaao.n ke bahalaave me.n aksar aa hii jaate hai.n
kabhii ham choT khaate hai.n kabhii ham muskuraate hai.n 

ham aksar dosto.n kii bevafaa_ii sah to lete hai.n
magar ham jaanate hai.n dil hamaare TuuT jaate hai.n 

kisii ke saath jab biite hue lamho.n kii yaad aa_ii
thakii aa.Nkho.n me.n ashko.n ke sitaare jhil-milate hai.n 

baad muddat unhe.n dekh kar yuu.N lagaa
jaise betaab dil ko qaraar aa gaya
aarazuuo.n ke gul muskuraane lage
jaise gul_shan me.n jaan-e-bahaar aa gayaa 

tashnaa nazare.n milii.n shoKh nazaro.n se jab
mai barasane lagii jaam bharane lagaa
saaqiiyaa aaj terii zaruurat nahii.n
bin piye bin pilaaye Khumaar aa gayaa 

raat sone lagii subah hone lagii
shammaa bujhane lagii dil machalane lage
vaqt kii raushanii me.n nahaa_ii hu_ii
zindagii pe ajab saa nikhaar aa gayaa 

har taraf mastiyaa.N har taraf dil_kashii
muskuraate dilo.n me.n Khushii hii Khushii
kitanaa chaahaa magar phir bhii uTh na sakaa
terii mahafil me.n jo ek baar aa gayaa
