Milay kaisay sadiyoon ki pyas aur pani,
zara phir say kehna
bari dilruba hai yeh sari kahani,
zara phir say kehna
kahan say chala tha judai ka saya,
nahi daikh paya kay rastay main thee anso'oon ki rawai,
zara phir say kehna
hawa yeh khabar, sunati rahay aur main sunta rahoon
badalnay ko hai ab yeh mausam khazani,
zara phir say kehna
mukar janay wala kabhi zindagi main, khushi phir na paiy!
yunhi khatum kar lain, chalo yeh kahani,
zara phir say kehna
samay kay samandur, kaha tu na jo bhi, suna,
par na samjhay jawani ki nad'di, main tha taiz pani,
zara phir say kehna

(Amjad Islam Amjad)
