ab ayaadat ko meri koi nahin aaega
phir hun bimar kisi ko na yaqin aaega

gham musalsal ho to ahbab bichhad jate hain
ab na koi dil-e-tanha ke qarin aaega

apne khwabon ke darichon mein jala lo shamen
aur ye soch lo ek mah-jabin aaega

phir nigar-e-chaman-e-wadi-e-farda-e-bahaar
gul-ba-dast-e-mah-o-anjum ba-jabin aaega

zehn-e-taza ke liye saz-e-haqiqat chhedo
chain ise sirf takhayyul se kahin aaega

sirf apne hi azaem pe bharosa kar le
kaam koi bhi na ai qalb-e-hazin aaega

roz puja ke liye phul sajata hai 'salam'
jaane kab us ka khuda su-e-zamin aaega
