na rudhna tum hamse kabhi,
ki hume tho manana bhi nahi aata

chahat kitni hai tuhare liye dil mai,
tumko ye batana bhi nahi aata

bade kathin hai ye raah-e-muhabbat,
issme koi safar suhana nahi aata,

bas khawab hi bunte rah jatte hai,
ki haqikat mai tho koi fasana bhi nahi aata.

intezaar karte hai tumse kab mile,
par tumse milne ka koi bahana bhi nahi aata,

sochte hai 'akela' ke mahfil mai chale jaye tere
par hume tho muskurana bhi nahi aata.

tang aachuke hain kashma kash_e_zindagi se hum
tukhra na den jahaan ko kahin be dili se hum
mayoosi_e_male muhabbat na poochiye
apno se paish aaye hain begangi se hum
lo aaj hum ne tor dia risha_e_umeed
lo ab kabhi shiqwa na kare gai kisi se hum
