shahar-vaalon kee mohabbat ka main qael hoon magar
main ne jis haath ko chooma vahee khanjar nikala
kisee bevafa kee khaatir ye junoon faraz kab tak
jo tumhen bhula chuka hai use tum bhee bhool jao
aisee taareekiyaan aankhon mein basee hain ki faraz
raat to raat hai ham din ko jalaate hain charaag
tere hote hue mahafil mein jalaate hain charaag
log kya saada hain sooraj ko dikhaate hain charaag
jab bhee dil khol ke roe honge
log aaraam se soe honge
ab zameen par koee gautam na mohammad na maseeh
aasamaanon se nae log utaare jaen
main ne dekha hai bahaaron mein chaman ko jalate
hai koee khvaab kee taabeer bataane vaala
tamaam umr kahaan koee saath deta hai
ye jaanata hoon magar thodee door saath chalo
suna hai bole to baaton se phool jhadate hain
ye baat hai to chalo baat kar ke dekhate hain
sab khvaahishen pooree hon faraz aisa nahin hai
jaise kaee ashaar mukammal nahin hote
