Itna to hua ey DIL ek shaks ke jaane se,
Bichde hue milte hain kuch dost purane se,

Ek aag hai jangal ki meri rusvaai ka charcha hai,
Doston ne chalaye hain khanjar dosti ke bahane se,

Ab mera safar tanha hai aur uski judaa hai ab manzil,
Pucho na pata tum ab usko mere DIL ke thikaane se,

Roshan hue viraane khush ho gayee duniya bhi,
Kuch hum bhi sukun se hain ghar apna jalane se,

Ruswaai kismat ki taqdir hai apni 'Salim'
Zillat bhi mili humko to apne ulfat ke fasane se..!!

[b]Gulshan ki fakat phoolon se nahi kanton se bhi zinat hoti hai,
Zine ke liye is duniya me gam ki bhi zarurat hoti hai,

Tum ho nadan kyuun karte to tum roz qayamat ka charcha,
Har lamha teri yaad aati hai har lamha qayamat hoti hai,

Wo gam mera kya jaanenge kuch keh na saku chup reh na saku,
Khaamosh rahun to mushkil hai keh doon to shikayat hoti hai,

Karna padega ye gam bardaasht peene he padenge ye aansu,
Jo hote nahin meri qismat me kyuun unse muhabbat hoti hai,

Jo aakar ruke daaman pe wo ashq nahi hai paani hai,
Jo aansu na chalke aankhon se us ashq ki qeemat hoti hai..!!
