aish-e-duniya ka jab shumar na tha
tab hamein dil pe ikhtiyar na tha

hum bhi kis qafile mein shamil the
jis ke pichhe koi ghubar na tha

umr bhar ishq ka fareb raha
kab hamein apna intizar na tha

raat din ek hi raha aalam
kaun sa lamha sogwar na tha

wo bhi masum tha agar 'shohrat'
apna daman bhi daghdar na tha
