nazm ki aarzoo

ek nazm ki aarzoo kagaz tale dab gayi
be-khabar hum the, be-khabar tum the

kuch lavzo ki duriyon mein dastaane bayan thi
aksar unme tum the, aksar unme hum the

guzarte saaloun ki tarah hum ise bhool chale
be-fikr hum the, be-fikr tum the

qurbaan thi najane kitni aysi aarzooein
makhboot tum the, makhboot hum the
