bewafaa zindagi ki bayaaban mein nikle hum leke pyar ka kafila,
wafa se door tho ho gaye, ab tanhaai se bhi hai koson ka faasla

—

unki nawaazish mein paai humne aisi aafiyat,
marhum zindagi mein jaise likh dee ho kisine qiyaamat

—

furqat mein dil ka aaina bhi kya saahir hai,
dhoondte hai hum khud ko, aur bewafa zaahir hai

—

khulthi hai aankhen, tho dekhthe hain numaaish mein chehraa tera,
jhukthi hai palken, tho paathe hain tasavvur mein aks tera..

—

Hasrat yeh nahin ki mahaul hai laakh aghyaar se bhari,
Afsos yeh ki talaash thi iltifaat ki, aur paai sirf aaine se yaari
