Jo khayal thay na kiyaas thay
Woh hi log hum se bichar gaye
Meri zindagi ke jo aas thay
Woh hi log hum se bichar gaye
Jinhain maanta hi nahin yeh dil
Wohi log hain mere hamsafar
Mujhe her tarah se jo raas thay
Woh hi log hum se bichar gaye
Mujhe lamha bhar ki rafaqaton ke
azaab aur staein gy
Meri umar bhi ki jo piyaas thay
Woh hi log hum se bichar gaye
Yeh khyal se hain arzii
Yeh gulaab sare hain kaghazi
Gul-e-arzoo ki jo bas thay
Woh hi log hum se bichar gaye
Jinhain kar saka na qabool main
Woh shariq-e-raah hai sehar huye
Jo meri talab meri aas thay
Wohi log hum se bichar gaye
Yeh jo raat din mere saath hain
Wohi ajnabi keh hain ajnabi
Woh jo dharkano ke asaas thay
Woh hi log hum se bichar gaye
