wo kaun hai jo udas raaton ki chandni hain
kai duaen labon pe le kar

malul ho kar
bhula ke sari thakan din ki

ye sochti hai
ki main na jaane hazar milon pare jo baitha hun

kis tarah hun
wo kaun hai jo udas raaton ke rat-jage mein

duaon ki mishalen jalane khadi hui hai
duaen jis ki mere liye hain

main un duaon ke zer-e-saya
zamin se aasman ki jaanib yun mahw-e-parwaz hun ki jaise

bashar-gazida khuda se milne ko ja raha ho
phir ek lamhe ko mere andar se itni aawazen gunjti hain

main in se barson se aashna hun
ye hath jo ki buland ho kar laraz rahe hain

ye hath mere liye tahaffuz ka istiara
ye hath mere liye jahan ki

hazar khushbu se baala-tar hain
yahi to hain wo jinhon ne mujh ko

qadam uthana qadam badhana sikha diya hai
