khair badnaam to pahle bhi bahut the lekin
tujh se milnaa thaa ki par lag gae rusvaai ko

tire aane kaa din hai tere raste mein bichhaane ko
chamakti dhuup mein saae ikaTThe kar rahaa huun main

khoyaa hai kuchh zarur jo us ki talaash mein
har chiiz ko idhar se udhar kar rahe hain ham

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh
