har shakhs apne aap mein sahma hua sa hai
dekho to shahar socho to viraniyan bahut

leta hua pangode mein takta hai aasman
likkhi hui hain aankhon mein hairaniyan bahut

zaid-gan-e-shab ko gawara nahin sahar
dasti hain un ko subh ki tabaniyan bahut

den kaise us ka hath zamane ke hath mein
ab tak to ki hain us ki nigahbaniyan bahut

pal-bhar khushi bhi hum ne ghanimat shumar ki
rahti hain yun bhi dil ko pareshaniyan bahut

kin pattharon se hum ne tarashe hain roz-o-shab
kaam aa gain hamari garan-jaaniyan bahut
