Aaj uski yaad ne hame tadpaya bahut
Aaj na chahte hue bhi wo yaad aaya bhut,
Us ke baad to jaise weshatoon se dosti ho gaye
Phir kyun tanhayo ne aaj daraya bahut,
Wo meri thi meri hai meri rahengi
We soch k dil ko behlaya bahut,
Shama k jalne pe afsoos kare kyun
Humne bhi manand-e-shama khud ko jalaya bahut,
Hum ne jis kisi ko bhi hamdard samjha
Wo na jane kyun hamare dard pai muskuraya bahut.
