Ap ab poochnay ko aye hain,
dil mery jan mar gya kab ka
Ap ko jab muj se shikwa he nahi koi to phir,
aag he dil main lagani he lagatay jaiye jon ailia
Dosto ham ne apna hal usy,
jab bhi likha kharab he likha
Jab tuj mery chah thi janan,
bas wohi waqt tha kara mera
Khoon kar dun tery shabab ka main,
muj sa qatil tera shabab nahi
Na likha us ne koi bhi maktoob,
phir bhi ham ne jawab he likha
Na rakha ham ne besh o kam ka khyal, shoq ko behisab he likha jon ailia
Reh gaye umeed to barbad ho jaun ga main,
jaiye to phir muj sach much bhulaty jaiye
Tumhara hijar mana lun agar ijazat ho,
main dil kisi se laga lun agar ijazat ho jon ailia
Us ne ham ko guman main rakha,
aur phir kam he dhyan main rakha
Wo jo rehti dil muhalay main,
phir wo larki muj mili he nahi
Ye suna he ke mery kooch ke bad,
us ki khushboo kahin basi he nahi
