ab tere shahr se chup-chap guzarna hoga
zinda hote hue har mod pe marna hoga

mere haalat agar koi samajhna chahe
us ko ek bar mere dil mein utarna hoga

naqsh mazi ke mita kar sabhi dil se apne
dard-o-gham se hamein ek bar ubharna hoga

hum ne sachchai ki har bar himayat ki hai
hum ko is bhul ka khamyaza to bharna hoga

aaina jaan ke dekhungi teri aankhon ko
jab kabhi tere liye mujh ko sanwarna hoga

is mohabbat ko na lag jae kahin koi nazar
hum ko duniya ki nigahon se bhi darna hoga

dekhna hai hamein ek wada-faramosh 'siya'
sham tak dhup ke sahra mein thaharna hoga
