meri zindagi

Nahi yaad mujhko ki kabhi nibhaayi thi maine
apni zindagi se bhi kabhi wafaa ki thi maine,

Armaan-e-dil-o-gulzaar kabhie hue the mere
apne dil ki bhi kabhi fariyaad suni thi maine,

khwaab bhi sawarein to mauka-e-dastuur ke mutabiq maine
chehre bhi lagaaye mauka-e-dastuur ke mutabiq maine,


fir bhi na jaane kyon khafaa hoon khud se main
ke ye dil bhi na kabhi tootne diya maine,

roz shaam-e-khummar jab chha jaata h 'cheetah'
khud ko shraab-e-dozakh me duba diya maine.
