bade tufan uthane ke liye hain
ye aankhen muskurane ke liye hain

bil-akhir kam padega ye andhera
charagh itne jalane ke liye hain

ye khushbu lamhe aur ye khush-ada log
bichhad kar yaad aane ke liye hain

khuda jaane ye dal ke waswase ab
mujhe kya din dikhane ke liye hain

hua karte the hum apne liye bhi
magar ab to zamane ke liye hain

jo aankhen khwab banne ke liye thin
wo ab aansu bahane ke liye hain

hum aise log us ki anjuman mein
charagh-e-dil jalane ke liye hain
