Palkon pe aanso'on ko sajaya na jaa saka
us ko bhi Dil ka haal bataya na jaa saka

zakhmon se choor choor tha yeh Dil mera
ek zakham bhi us ko dikhaya na jaa saka

jab teri yaad aayi to koshish ke ba wajood
aankhon main aanso'on ko chupaya na jaa saka

kuch log zindagi main aise bhi aaye hain
jin ko kisi bhi lamhe bhulaya na jaa saka

bas is khayaal se kahin us ko dukh na ho
hum se to haal-e-ghum bhi sunaya na jaa saka

woh muskuraha tha mere ru-ba-ru magar
chehre ka rang us se chupaya na jaa saka

tanhaiyon ki aag main hum jal gaye
magar faasla ana ka mitaya na jaa saka
