Kuch is kadar rutha ye ishq humse,
ki ab is dil me koi hasrat baaki na rahi.

Is waqt ne zakhm aise nasoor kar diye,
ki ab aur dard ki gunjaish baaki na rahi.

Mehfilo ki hasi me ye ashq kuch yun bahe,
ki ranj-o-gam ki ek shaam baaki na rahi.

Saanse to baaki hain ab bhi beshumar jeene ke liye,
Is dil ko zinda rakh sake vo ek dhadkan baaki na rahi.
