agar kuchh thi to bas ye thi tamanna aakhiri apni
ki wo sahil pe hote aur kashti dubti apni

hamein to sham-e-gham mein katni hai zindagi apni
jahan wo hon wahin ai chand le ja chandni apni

na hai ye iztirab apna na hai ye be-khudi apni
teri mahfil mein shayad bhul aaya zindagi apni

wahin chaliye wahin chaliye mohabbat ka taqaza hai
wo mahfil hae jis mahfil mein duniya lut gai apni

munasib ho to ai zalim ghadi bhar ke liye aa ja
bujhana hai tere daman se sham-e-zindagi apni
