istiara
udas raaton ki tirgi mein

agar koi naghma-rez tair
khud apni marzi se rah bhula hua parinda

ki jis ka nanha sa dil
mohabbat ke sare jazbon se aashna ho

ki jis ke par dukh chuke hon lekin
wo ud raha ho

nai fazaon ko dhundhta ho
main us ko aawaz de raha hun

wahi to hai mera istiara
main chahta hun ki sath mere

wo git gae
nai ruton ke mohabbaton ke

zamin ko khush-rang karne wali
tamam gul-rez saaton ke
