Waqt ka kaarwaan chalta rahaaLamHahooN ki tasveer badali nahii
Ajeeb kash-m-kash maine huuN
Teri yaad z.ahan se mit.Ti nahii
Raastein badal kar dekhe humne
HawaoOn ke rukh badale nahi
Kaise bhuul jaaoon sochta huuN
ZaakhmoO ke nishaAn mit.Te nahii
Ta.umr maanga dua mein tuujhe
Haqeekat se ru.baru huuye nahi
khawab.oOn ko hii jeeTe rahe
Dua qabool jaane kyoun huii nahii
Gulaam Ishq, Wafaa, Etbaar ke
Naye rishtoon mein bandhte nahii
Toot jaate hain sil-sile galey milne ke
haath se haath bhi jab milte nahii
Sach haii judaa raastein darmiyaan
Sachayi chah.kar jhutlayi jaatii nahii
tabasum ke chilman tar-tar huye
ashk ab yahaan ajnabee lagte nahii
Ib.adaat, Dua, Tishnagi, Intezar ho tum
Sabko hai khabar, Khabar tumko nahii
Tanhaii ke aagosh mein beetayii ek umr
Dil ke faisloon par chalta koii zor nahii
