zindgi phir koi patay toh aur kya karte
aapse dilna lagatay toh aur kya karte
aapke pyar ki pehchan mangte thay log
sar hum apna na kata-tay toh aur kya karte
unki nazar se chip kar unhi se milna thaa
hum ghazal ban kar na aate toh aur kiya karte
pankhadi dil ki choome aaya tha 'gulab'
aap nazrein na jhukate toh aur kiya karte
