dost, tumhe yaad kiye jaate hain

jaane kaisi hawaayein hain yeh,
jinme purane pal khote jaate hain.
jo log dil ke kareeb hote hain itne kabhi,
woh door nazar ke hote jaate hain.

Jinka jikr jubaan se rukta nahin tha,
yaad karne parr bhi woh naam bhule jaate hain.
hosh mein hoon ya behosh hoon,
aksar aise shaq khud parr hum kiye jaate hain.

lagta hai darr, sochta hoon main.
kya aise hi marasim chodte jaate hain.
apne dil se banayi hui duniya ko,
lamha lamha, aisie hi todte jaate hain?

---khafa na hona dost, khatagar hum,
jehan mein hi sahi, tumhe aksar yaad kiye jaate hain
