Khata-vaar the hum hi, uski hansi ko na pehchaan sake

Aaise nadaan the hum kisike dard ko na jaan sake
Jo chahhte the hume, unki chahhat ko na pehchaan sake Guftagoo ko unki guftagoo hi samajhte rahe hum
Woh pyar karte the, hum unke pyar ko na pehchaan sake Dil ki baat woh na kar sake bayaan, zubaan se apne
Hum kaise the nadaan, ke unki nazaron ko na padh sake. Badi muddat ke baad woh shaam aayi hai
Humne unke saath zindagi ki mehfil sajaayi hai Umeedon ke roshni ke saath, woh aaj muskuraaye hai
Woh apne dastaan, lafz-e-tehreer me likh paaye hai Woh to hanste the, jhukaakar ke nazar apni
Khata-vaar the hum hi, uski hansi ko na pehchaan sake
