kya ajab log the guzre hain baDi shan ke sath
raste chup hain magar naqsh-e-qadam bolte hain

kisi jawaz ka hona hi kya zaruri hai
agar wo chhoDna chahe to chhoD jae mujhe

kaise rishton ko sameTen ye bikharte hue log
TuT jate hain yahi faisla karte hue log

Tariq Qamar

jaise mumkin ho in ashkon ko bachao 'tariq'
sham aai to charaghon ki zarurat hogi

Tariq Qamar

is saliqe se mujhe qatl kiya hai us ne
ab bhi duniya ye samajhti hai ki zinda hun main

Tariq Qamar

is lahje se baat nahin ban paegi
talwaron se kaise kanTe niklenge

Tariq Qamar

har aadmi wahan masruf qahqahon mein tha
ye aansuon ki kahani kise sunate hum

Tariq Qamar

ek muddat se ye manzar nahin badla 'tariq'
waqt us par hai Thahra hua is par hain hum
