Haazri lga chuke ho to ab jate kyu nhi?
Koi Raaz dil mai hai to btate kyu nhi?

Kya chhupaya hua hai tumne
Is zehn-e- dimag mai.
Roz gamgeen baatei kerte ho,hasate kyu ni?

Ya mai yu manloo ke ye baichaini tumhe bhot satati ha
Ya tum khud kaho tumhe kiski yad ati hai.

Ye khamoshi maaz ek saya hai
Mere dost dard-e-dil ki dwaa ati nahi.

Kya muqammal hue tumhare khaab jo tum dekhte they?
Isliye bhi shayad tumhe neend ati nahi?

Or ye jisey tum samajhte ho fariyad
Ye raaste kapatthar hai
Tum is patthar ko hatate kyu nhi?

Manzile-e- karwaa jari hai, Duniya bhi mayassar sari hai.
Tum ye shehar chhodker jate kyu nhi?
