Aj mar jaane ko jee chahta hai

Khud se hi itni nafrat kara di usne mujhe

Ki ayina bhi jhooth bolta nazar ata hai 

Toot gaye fir armaan, aur ummeedein jo lagayi maine

Bas sab ek kale dher sa nazar ata hai

Yun charon taraf dekh kar bhi mujhe

Kuchh aur nahi bas simte hue mera vajood nazar ata hai

Na muddaton ke baad bhi mujhe sunna gawara hai tumhein

Aise hi fir ek nayi ummeed jaga li maine

Ki kya pata marne ke baad hi pasand aa jaun tumhein

Lafzon se na samjha payi main tumhein,

Din aise hi guzarte gaye sare, raatein bhi bita li maine

Intezar bhi kiya har waqt, lekin ab to shabdon se bhi sab dur nazar ata hai 

Lekin toote dhaage bhala kaun jod pata hai

Aaj mar jane ko jee chahta hai
