Kisi ka ishq kisi ka khyal thay hum bhi,
Gaye dinon main bohat ba kamal thay hum bhi,
Hamari khoj main rehti thein titlyan aksar,
K apnay shehr ka husn-o-jamal thay hum bhi,
Zameen ki goad main sir rekh k so gaey aakhir,
Tumharay hijr main kitnay nidhal thay hum bhi,
Zaroration ne hamara zamer chaat liya,
Wagarna qaa’el-e-rizq-a-halal thay hum bhi,
Hum ask ask bikhartay rahay isi dhun main,
K zindagi main kabhi laazwal thay hum bhi!
