aaj tak dil ki aarzu hai wahi
phul murjha gaya hai bu hai wahi

sau bahaaren jahan mein aai gain
maya-e-sad-bahaar tu hai wahi

jo ho puri wo aarzu hi nahin
jo na puri ho aarzu hai wahi

man leta hun tere wade ko
bhul jata hun main ki tu hai wahi

tujh se sau bar mil chuke lekin
tujh se milne ki aarzu hai wahi

sabr aa jae is ki kya ummid
main wahi, dil wahi hai, tu hai wahi

ho gai hai bahaar mein kuchh aur
warna saghar wahi subu hai wahi

umr guzri talash mein lekin
garmi-ha-e-justuju hai wahi

mai-kade ka 'jalil' rang na puchh
raqs-e-jam o khum o subu hai wahi
