...begane ho gaye

Mehfil mein tanhayee ka, sabab kya batayein

roothe hue se aaj paimaane ho gaye;

kisi ko bhulayein itna hosh hi kahan hai

hum to khud se hi begaane ho gaye !

nahin lagti hai ab to chandni pehle si,

yatharth me khayalon ke thikaane ho gaye!
furkat to milti hai, milti nahin fursat

kehne ko khatm saare, bahaane ho gaye !!

Zindagi bahut tez hai, main hoon zara dheere

khud se milke dekha-hum puraane ho gaye

kaise batayein hum, kya haal hai zindagi ka

itni bheed mein bhi aaj, veerane ho gaye !!!

Sab chhupe se baithe hain, ek naqab chehro par,

dil ki baatein kiye to zamaane ho gaye,

lafzon ka nahin bharosa, matlab badal jate hain

main aankhein padhta hoon, shabd be-maane ho gaye !!!!
