Kuch toot gaye hain kuch khuwab baaqi hain

Maazi ki wafaoon main kuch sarab baaqi hain ...

Ab bhi wazey nahin hui tasveer zindagi ki

Der-e-perda ab bhi kuch naqaab baaqi hain ...


Her sawal apni jaga joon ka toon raha

Zabaan pay shikayaton kay kuch jawab baaqi hain ...


Khali hua behtey behtey yaad main behta sagar

Phir bhi nigahon main kuch sailaab baaqi hain ...


Maaf kiya khoon-e-jigar apna kisi dosti ko

To ussi dosti say kuch hisaab baaqi hain ...


Kisi ka aasmaan tareekhiyon ka ujala ban gaya

kahin bay-rukhi kay kuch mehtaab baaqi hain ...


Mer bhi nahi saktey ab to sukoon-e-zalim

Hasratain reh jaain gee kuch hijaab baaqi hain ...


Musalsal jal rahay aatish-e-ishq kay angaroon main

Parastish kay or bhi kuch aadaab baaqi hain ...



Kaghaz kay nazaron say mehek aaye gee kaisay

Haqeeqat kay guldanoo main kuch gulaab baaqi hain ...


Sab ko samajh na shaiki tu yaar bay wafa

Teri raha lutey yahan kuch nawab baaqi hain ...
