Agarche Kahne Ko Kal Kaenat Apni Thi

agarche kahne ko kal kaenat apni thi

haqiqatan kahan apni bhi zat apni thi

kahen to kis se kahen hum hayat apni thi

na koi din tha hamara na raat apni thi

koi bhi aaj to apna nazar nahin aata

jo tum the apne to kul kaenat apni thi

ye kya ki aaj koi nam tak nahin leta

wo din bhi the ki har ek lab pe baat apni thi

hamare pas raha kya hai ab ghamon ke siwa

wo din gae ki rah-e-shash-jihat apni thi

hamin se bhul kahin ho gai mohabbat mein

wagarna wo nigah-e-iltifat apni thi

jo tum qarib the har shai pe iKHtiyar sa tha

ye chand aur sitaron ki raat apni thi

hamein KHud apni KHirad ka ghurur le Duba

nahin to ek zamane mein baat apni thi

'hayat' is liye nazm-e-kuhan ko toD diya

ki aaj sirf isi mein najat apni thi
