Kaghaz per kuch phool bane thee jo tere honton jese thee

Kaghaz per kuch phool bane thee jo tere honton jese thee
kuch lafzon k rang saje thee jo mere jazbon jese thee

shikwe thee kuch arman kuch beete dino ki yaadien thee
saare shikwe'saare arman mere sochon jese thee

accha waqt tu palak jhapakte ranj diye aur aur guza gaya
kitne mahene aise beete goya lamho jese thee

main bhe wakt ka qaidi tha tum bhe halat ki zindani
hum dono he apni apni jaga majboor parindo jese thee

waqt bhe kitna zalim hai kese kese rang dekhata hai
yaad aate hain woh begane kabhe jo apney jese thee

milne ko sou baar mile per woh milna kia milna thaa
dil dharke apno ki tarha bichre tu ghiron jese thee

hi woh din bhe kia din the jab hum the aur baharien theen
ab socho tu youn lagta hai woh din khawbon jese thee

oore tu jazbon ki dori main bandhe hue the hum dono
bichre tu waqt ki taiz hawa main kati "patagon" jese thee
