Kabhi shab se kabhi sehar se larra karti thee
mudatein huwen ek shamma yahan jala karti thee
Kya baat huee keh aaj sar-e-sham band ho gayee
Ek khirrkee jo kabhi ta sehar khula karti thee
Sehamta hai dil kyoon ab ki bar is toofan mein
Garajte the badal bijli pehlay bhee gira karti thee
Kuch rang yaas me kusht-e-armaan ka hai warna
Naomeedi is dil se door hee raha karti thee
Khata meri hee thee jo dunya se dil laga baitha
Yeh kambakht zindagi pehlay kab kisi se wafa karti thee
Main un se kah raha hoon mujhe yaad kijiye
Kabhi meri yaad jin ki dharrkan huwa karti thee
Dekho aaj ham un ki dunya mein shamil hee nahin
Jin ki dunya kabhi bas ham se huwa karti thee…
