dekhen qareeb se bhee to achchha dikhaee de
ik aadamee to shahar mein aisa dikhaee de
kitanee aasaanee se mashahoor kiya hai khud ko
main ne apane se bade shakhs ko gaalee de kar
meree ik chhotee see koshish tujh ko paane ke lie
ban gaee hai masala saare zamaane ke lie
chhat tapakatee thee agarache phir bhee aa jaatee thee neend
main nae ghar mein bahut roya puraane ke lie
aasamaan aisa bhee kya khatara tha dil kee aag se
itanee baarish ek shole ko bujhaane ke lie
main zafar ta-zindagee bikata raha parades mein
apanee ghar-vaalee ko ik kangan dilaane ke lie
apane atavaar mein kitana bada shaatir hoga
zindagee tujh se kabhee jis ne shikaayat nahin kee
abhee zinda hain ham par khatm kar le imtihaan saare
hamaare baad koee imtihaan koee nahin dega
kaisee shab hai ek ik karavat pe kat jaata hai jism
mere bistar mein ye talavaaren kahaan se aa gaeen
aankhen yoon hee bheeg gaeen kya dekh rahe ho aankhon mein
baitho saahab kaho suno kuchh mile ho kitane saal ke baad
