Sirf itna nahin dil dukhaa kar geya

Sirf itna nahin dil dukhaa kar geya,
Sara jeewan woh mera sazaa kar geya,

Jis ki tu raah takta hai sham-o-sehar,
Sab hawaley woh tere bhalaa kar geya,

Phool, khushbu, chaman, chand, taarey, sabaa,
Saarey sathi woh hum se khafaa kar geya,

Tu kahan aur yeh bewafayi kahan,
Yeh zamana tujhe bewafaa kar geya,

Sab darakhton pe kuch kuch likha reh geya,
Naam aese woh mera mitaa kar geya,

Yaad meri sataaye gi shab bhar usey,
Aaj din bhar humain jo sataa kar geya,

Yeh bhi mumkin hai Arshad na lottay kabhi,
Jo humain chaar din ka bataa kar geya..
