kabhi socha hi hota,
kaise din guzarte honge.
tera sar kissi aur ke kandhe pe,
dekh ke kaise jeete honge.

na khata teri na khata meri,
parr guzarte guzarte hi aise.
suroor-e-muhabbat ki jahan main,
bepanah numayish to na karte honge

woh aankhon ki masti, woh chehre ki muskaan.
woh naye purane geet, woh meethi kayi jahan ke baatein.

fir se us bazaar main jaane ki ab himmat nahin hai,
wahin lut gayi kayi baar, sahab woh dukaan hamari hai.

dalate rahein kab tak
kabr-e-gam pe tanha ki yun mitti,
ki koi raazdar hai hi nahin.

dete rahein kab tak
gam-e-dil ko dilasa,
ki nahin koi gubaar hai hi nahin.

karte rahein kab tak.
shab-e-noor ka intezaar,
kissi khwaab main bhi mehtaab hai hi nahin.

Tanha hai yeh kashti
jahan chahe chali jaye.
aur karein kya jab, ki koi manjhi hai hi nahin

khafa nahin hote, juda nahin hote.
ji rahe hain hum, ji rahe ho tum.
dard main tadap ke, fana nahin hote.

sutte si zindagi, lab pe rakhi hai.
dhuaan uda raha hoon, neeche raakh gira raha hoon.

Dil ke karwaan toh kayi nikale,
Saanson ke darmiyaan, silsile bhi hue.

Bewafa, Bekaraar, Badnaam bhi hue,
Log Milte rahe, bas Anjaam na mile.

tu nahin, teri justjoo kisliye...

bhool jaoonga, ab aur kya karoonga.
dard ko aur kab tak sametoonga.
keh diya hai dil se...
tu nahin fir teri justjoo kisliye.

abhi jab sochta hoon ki tu nahin,gar zindagi main meri.
ruk si jaati hai dhadkane us pal main meri.
jis lamha hakeekat ho jayega yeh, ya khuda.
darta hoon isliye, .....

jis gadhi kuch dekhta hoon manzar khushnuma,
lagta hai tum nahin toh kitna bejaan hai sab.
kissi mehfil main khoya rehta hoon kabhi,
darta hoon jab lagta hai kitna viraan hai sab.

kab tak jiyoonga, gar bhula na paya.
kab tak piyoonga, ki bhula na paya.
sochta hoon itna parr samajh nahin paya,
tu nahin toh teri justjoo kisliye.

parr haan bhula doonga,
tu nahin fir bhi jiyoonga.

pi loonga bekhud har viraani mehfil main
keh doonga pashemaan har bejaan-e- manzar se
ki, darr ki hakeekat banane se pehle.
maan le
tu nahin toh aakhir teri justjoo kisliye.
