Mein us ki yaad ko dil mein bahaal rakhta tha

Mein us ki yaad ko dil mein bahaal rakhta tha
Khud apne aap se zeyada kheyal rakhta tha,

Zara si baat pe woh mujhse rooth jata tha
Main us se pyar ka rishta bahaal rakhta tha,

Sambhaal rakhti thi ik khawhish-e-wisaal mujhe
Woh hijar deta tha, mujh ko niddhaal rakhta tha,

Main kitne qurb se guzra hoon kya pata us ko
Woh shakhs mujh ko bohat pur’malaal rakhta tha,

Mujhe to dost mere maaar gaye Arshad
Main bach geya hoon ke himmat kamaal rakhta tha.
