Agar qadam tere mai-kash ka laDkhaDa jae

agar qadam tere mai-kash ka laDkhaDa jae
to sham-e-mai-kada ki lau bhi tharthara jae

ab is maqam pe lai hai zindagi mujh ko
ki chahta hun tujhe bhi bhula diya jae

mujhe bhi yun to baDi aarzu hai jine ki
magar sawal ye hai kis tarah jiya jae

gham-e-hayat se itni bhi hai kahan fursat
ki teri yaad mein ji bhar ke ro liya jae

unhen bhi bhul chuka hun main ai gham-e-dauran
ab is ke baad bata aur kya kiya jae

na jaane ab ye mujhe kyun KHayal aata hai
ki apne haal pe be-saKHta hansa jae

gurez ishq se lazim sahi magar 'rifat'
jo dil hi baat na mane to kya kiya jae
