Mujhe mujhse mile hue ek zamaana beet gaya

Mera aaina bhi mujhe ab teri hi soorat dikhata hai

Kaisi ajeeb si kahaani ban gayi hai teri badakashi k

Jaam koi peeta hai, kadam mera dagmagaata hai

Dur rahne ka iraada karte hein har shaam lekin

Subah uska ek paigaam phir us tak le aata hai

Hausla nahin hai magar dil jhooth mooth mein

Usko tang karta hai aur khud ko bhi satata hai

Khat likhne ki ek aadat si pad gayi hai is umr me

Majmoon har harf ka bus haal-e-dil batata hai

Aji kuch to hoga ilaaj is la-ilaaj marz ka miyan,

Ke dekho bin ilaaj ke dil beemaar hua jaata hai
