koi ummeed bar nahin aati
koi soorat nahin aati
ka ek din mu'ayyan hai
neend kyon raat bhar nahin aati
aage aati thi haal-e-dil pe hansi
ab kisi baat par nahin aati
hai kuchh aisi hi baat jo chup hoon
warna kya baat kar nahin aati
marte hain aarzoo mein marne ki
maut aati hai par nahin aati
hazaaron khwahishen aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle
bahut nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikle
dil-e-nadaan tujhe hua kya hai
aakhir is dard ki dawa kya hai
ishq ne ghalib nikamma kar diya
warna hum bhi aadmi the kaam ke
ye na thi hamari qismat ke visaal-e-yaar hota
agar aur jeete rehte yahi intezaar hota
koi ummeed bar nahi aati
koi surat nazar nahi aati
hain aur bhi duniya mein sukhanwar bahut achche
kehte hain ke ghalib ka hai andaaz-e-bayaan aur
