kabhi to khul ke baras ab ke meherbaaN ki taraH
mera wazood hai jalte huye makaN kee taraH
main ik khwaab sahee aapki amaanat hooN
muJhe sambhaaL ke rakhiyegaa jism-o-jaaN ki taraH
kabhi to soch ke wo saKsh kis kadar tha buland
jo bichh gaya tere kadmoN meiN aasmaaN ki taraH
bula rahaa hai muJhe fir kisi badan ka basanth
guzar na jaaye ye ruth bhi kahiN khizaaN ki taraH
mera wazood hai jalte huye makaN kee taraH
main ik khwaab sahee aapki amaanat hooN
muJhe sambhaaL ke rakhiyegaa jism-o-jaaN ki taraH
kabhi to soch ke wo saKsh kis kadar tha buland
jo bichh gaya tere kadmoN meiN aasmaaN ki taraH
bula rahaa hai muJhe fir kisi badan ka basanth
guzar na jaaye ye ruth bhi kahiN khizaaN ki taraH
