Kashmakash

Ek arse se dil ne kisiko apnaya nahin
Naa jane zehen pe mere ye pehra kyun hai
Tu to bewafa thi roz -e-awaal se ye jaante the hum
Fir har pal nazar pe chhaya tera chehra kyun hai


Ek waqt tha tune kaha ke ruko hum aate hain abhi
Jaane ab tak mera waqt wahin pe thehra kyun hai
Laakh muskurane par bhi aankhe nam reh jati hain
Ye tujhe na paane ka dard itna gehra kyun hai


Zindagi ab lagti hai apni kuch parayi si Arif
Kuch aisa haal ab raah-e-ulfat me mera kyun hai
