mukaddar hi tha kuchh aisa hamara
safar katta raha tanha hamara

kai chehron ka gham hai is mein shamil
hamara hai kahan chehra hamara

wo bhule aur hum bhule na un ko
talluq hai yahi un ka hamara

hamein manzil pe aa kar ye khalish hai
palat jate to kya jata hamara

nibhane ki musalsal koshishon mein
bigadta hi gaya rishta hamara

chidhata hai koi lahron ko aksar
bana kar ret par naqsha hamara

hai apni 'chandni' hi chaar din ki
bigadegi hi kya duniya hamara
