Yun dost saare apne apne raste badal gaye 
kuch peeche ruk gaye to kuch aage nikal gaye 
Haalaat ki dhoop zaraa si deir ko tez kya hui 
jitne wafaa kay patthar the… saare pighal gaye 
Waado ke taare raato se baahar na jaa sake 
iraado ke… din nikalne se pehle hee dhal gaye 
Wafaaon ke rang shabnam kay qatroo ne dho diye 
mohabbat ke phool jazboo ki 'shiddat' se jal gaye 
Taano ke teer duniya kee kamaano pe jab chadhe 
sabar ke daaman haathoo se ekdum phisal gaye 
Aankhein khulei to khaaboo ko bura laga magar  
kuch der wo reh ke khafa humse wo khud hi behal gaye 
Pehle pehal to ajeeb lage badle huwe chehre 
phir yu huwa k waqt ke saath hum bhi sambhal gaye
