kabhi phir milain ge to poochna

Abhi kiya kahain , abhi kiya sunain 

keh sar-e-faseel sakoot-e-jana

kaf-e-roz-o-shab pe sharar numa

woh jo harf harf chraagh tha

ussay kisi hawa ne bhuja diya

kabhi lab hilain ge to poochna 

sar-e-sehar ehad-e-wasal-e-dil

woh jo nighaton ka hajoom tha

ussay dast-e-moj-e-firaaq ne

teh-e-khaak kab se mila diya

kabhi gul kilain to poochna 

abhi kiya kahain abhi kiya sunain

youn hi khwaishon ke hisaar main

kabhi be'sabab kabhi be'khalal

kahan kon kis se bichar gaya

kabhi phir milain ge to poochna
