ek ghum musarraton mein samaya kabhi kabhi
guzra zamana jo yaad aya kabhi akbhi
manzil ki duryon se lazzat mujhe mili
rahon ke paich-o-ghum ne sataya kabhi
kisi ne khizan ki raah mein kaliyan bikher di
misl-e-bahar kaun ye aya kabhi kabhi
khud apni zat se girezan hun main jis tarah
yun duur duur rehta hai saya kabhi kabhi
har saz buj raha tha magar khamoshi ke sath
aisa udas waqt bhi aya kabhi kabhi
yaadon ki ik jhalak mere dil mein utar gayi
naghma kisi ne aisa sunaya kabhi kabhi
haan kisi ki yaad mein hum aise guum huye
dhundha hazaar khud ko na paya kabhi kabhi
