koi umeed na raha

Tute dil main ummid ka kai kinara na raha
Zinda rehene ka yahaa.n koi bahana na raha

dil me koi khwhahish koi armaan bhii na raha
mere labon pe ab us sitamgar ka bhii naam na raha

main unse miloon, ye bechaini bhii jati rahi
in aankhoN main bhii kisika intezar na raha

Raat ka ek phool huuN, murjha jaungi subha tak
ab to mujhse khusboo ka wo bahana bhii na raha

gazalo.n aur nagmon ki bate.n kya kare.n
dil main khud ko gungunane ka armaan na raha

"Diya" HuuN, bujh jaungii subah ke ujale meiN
mujhe kabhii ujaalo.n se koii lagav na raha
