Yeh Shaam Shaam Zindagi

Tum hi achay thay kisi se kabhi takraar na ki
Tum keh takrar ke khu-gar bhi na thay
Tum hi achay thay
Jo min-jumla e arbaab e nazr rehtay thay
Itnay saada thay kej zakhmon ko hina kehtay thay
Shehr e pur-hosla main
Shewa e ehl e hunr per kabhi tanqeed na ki
Itnay be-bas thay keh jab waqt para
Apni bhi taa'eid na ki

Hum buray log hain sach kehty hain
Hum buray log hain, khushnoodi e arbaab e asr ke baaghi
Kabhi qatray ko samandar na likha
Kisi zarray ko bhi sehra na kaha
Qarz e aaina chukanay ke liye aks se mehroom rahay
Aur insaan se muhabbat ka sila ?
Ik saza yaafta mujrim ki tarha zinda rahay
