pahle bhi khush-chashmon mein ham chaukanna se rahte the

teri soi aankhon ne toh aur hamein hoshiyaar kiya

jaate jaate koi ham se achchhe rahna kah toh gaya

poochhe lekin poochhne waale kis ne ye beemaar kiya

quatra quatra sirf hua hai ishq mein apne dil ka lahoo

shakl dikhaai tab us ne jab aankhon ko khoon-baar kiya

ham par kitni baar pade ye daure bhi tanhaai ke

jo bhi ham se milne aaya milne se inkaar kiya

ishq mein kya nuqusaan nafa hai ham ko kya samjhaate ho

ham ne saari umr hi yaaro dil ka kaarobaar kiya

mahfil par jab neend si chhaai sab ke sab khaamosh hue

ham ne tab kuchh sher sunaaya logon ko bedaar kiya

ab tum socho ab tum jaano jo chaaho ab rang bharo

ham ne toh ik naqsha kheencha ik khaaka tayyaar kiya

desh se jab pradesh sidhaare ham par ye bhi waqt pada

nazmein chhodi ghazlein chhodi geeton ka bewpaar kiya
