AaKhirii Tiis aazamaane ko
jii to chaahaa thaa muskuraane ko

yaad itanii bhii saKht_jaaN to nahiin
ik gharaundaa rahaa hai Dahaane ko

sang_rezon men Dhal gaye aaNsuu
log haNsate rahe dikhaane ko

zaKhm-e-naGmaa bhii lau to detaa hai
ik diyaa rah gayaa jalaane ko

jalane vaale to jal bujhe aaKhir
kaun detaa Khabar zamaane ko

kitane majabuur ho gaye honge
ankahii baat muuNh pe laane ko

khul ke haNsanaa to sab ko aataa hai
log tarasate rahe ik bahaane ko

rezaa rezaa bikhar gayaa insaaN
dil kii viiraaniyaaN jataane ko

hasaraton kii panaah_gaahon men
kyaa Thikaane hain sar chhupaane ko

haath kaaNTon se kar liye zaKhmii
phuul baalon men ik sajaane ko

aas kii baat ho ki saaNs 'Ada'
ye Khilaune hain TuuT jaane ko
