a jaane kab wo palat aayen dar khula rakhana
gaye huwon ke liye dil mein kuch jagah rakhana

hazaar talk hon yaaden magar wo jab bhi milen
zubaan pe achchhe dinon ka hi zaayaka rakhana

na ho ke kurb hi phir marg-e-rabt ban jaaye
mile agar to zara usase faasala rakhana

utaar phaink de kush-fahamiyon ke saare gilaaf
jo shaks bhool gaya usako yaad kya rakha
