umar kat chuki ab to jaana hoga

ab aansuon ko aankhon mein sajaana hoga
chiraagh bhuj gaye khud ko jalaana hoga

na samajhna ke tum se bichar ke khush hain
humein logon ki khaatir muskuraana hoga

phir shaam dhal gayi tum aaye na aaj bhi
dil ko aaj phir umeedon se behlaana hoga

waada khilaafi kar ke muskurate ho aap
dekhna ek din sanam aap ko pachtaana hoga

lahoo se apne kafan pe tera naam likh jayenge
thaam ke haath mein phool tumko aana hoga

abhi se na kijiye takaaza-e-masroofiat ke aap
abhi utthna hai janaza kaandha to lagana hoga

muddaton kiya hai tera intezaar ae sanam
umar kat chuki ab to jaana hoga
