Jo khayal thay na qayas thay wohi log hum se bichar gay
Meri zindagi ki jo aas thay wohi log hum se bichar gay
Jinhein manta he nahi yeh dil wohi log hain mere humsafar
Mujhay har tarah say jo raas thay wohi log hum se bichar gay
Mujhay lamha bhar ki rafaqaton k azab or sataen gay
Jo meri umar bhar ki payas thay wohi log hum se bichar gay
Yeh khayal saray hain arazi yeh gulab saray hain kaghazi
Gul-e-arzoo ki jo baas thay wohi log hum se bichar gay
Jinhein kar saka na qabool mein wohi shareek-e-rah-e-safar huway
Jo meri talab meri aas thay wohi log hum se bichar gay
Yeh raat din meray sath hain wohi ajnabi k ajnabi
Who jo dharkano ki assas thay wohi log hum se bichar gay
