Humne' maana tha ek masiha unhe'

Humne' maana tha ek masiha unhe',
Lagai thi kai umeedein unse'.

Magar achanak woh naa jaane' kahaan kho gaye',
Aur humein yoon bebus chorh (leave) kar,
Naa jaane' woh kahaan chale' gaye.

Iss zindagi ki yahi dastaan hai,
Aane' jaane' walon ki yeh ek khunbsoorat gulistan hai.

Yahan kai gul khilkar murjha jaate' hain,
Magar kuch murjha kar bhi,
Hamare' dilon mein khile' hi rehte' hain.

Shayad woh bhi aise' hi gulon mein se' ek hain,
Jo khilkar hi toh kya,
Murjhakar bhi hamare' iss dil-e-gulistan mein,
Koi bemisaal raunaq chorh (leave) jaate' hain.
