Yad e maazi humein sataaye kyun ?
Khushk ankhon mein samandar aajaye kyun?

Pani bhi mayassar nahin jis wirane mein
Dard ka sagar yahan pahuch jaaye kyun?

Tanha raat katti nahin barson mein
Khushi ka lamha yun guzar jaaye kyun?

Inkaar ka gila na kiya jab humnein
Mere ehsaas par ilzaam lagaye kyun?

Kahte hain dosti apni sabit to kar
Har mod yun humein aazmaye kyun?

Ehsaas nahin mere gham ka na sahi
Koi mere dard pe muskuraye kyun?

Har ilzaam de gaya woh is dil ko
Phir bhi apna sa woh nazar aaye kyun?
