dil guman tha gumaniyan the hum
han miyan dastaniyan the hum

hum sune aur sunae jate the
raat bhar ki kahaniyan the hum

jaane hum kis ki bud ka the subut
jaane kis ki nishaniyan the hum

chhodte kyun na hum zamin apni
aakhirash aasmaniyan the hum

zarra bhar bhi na thi numud apni
aur phir bhi jahaniyan the hum

hum na the ek aan ke bhi magar
jawedan jawidaniyan the hum

roz ek ran tha tir-o-tarkash bin
the kamin aur kamaniyan the hum

arghawani tha wo piyala-e-naf
hum jo the urghawaniyan the hum

nar-e-pistan thi wo qattala
aur hawas-darmiyaniyan the hum

na-gahan thi ek aan aan ki thi
hum jo the nagahaniyan the hum
