Abhi zinda hu lakin sochta rehta hu khalwat main
k ab tak kis tamana k sahary g liya main nay
Apny bekar tamanaon p sharminda hun
apny besood umeedon p nidamat hy muj
Bas ab to daman e dil chor do bekar umedo
bohat dukh she liye main nay bohat din g liya main nay
Dekha hy zindgy ko kuch itny qareeb say
chehry tamam lagny lagy hain ajeeb say
Dunay k bazar main akhir chahat bhi byopar bany
mery dil say un ky dil tak chandy ky dewar bany
Hamary bebasy ye keh rahy hy haye ro ro kar
daboya us nay kashty to jisay ham nakhuda samjay
Ham phool hain auron k liye laye hain khushboo
apnay liye ly day k bas ik dagh mila hy
Ham jurm hoabat ki saza payen gay tanha
jo tuj say huwy wo khata sath lye ja
