aise kuchh log bhi mitti pe utare jaen
dekh kar jin ko khad-o-khal sanware jaen

ek hi wasl ki tasir rahegi qaem
kaun chahega yahan sal guzare jaen

tere mizhgan hain ki surat koi qausain ki hai
darmiyan aa ke kahin log na mare jaen

mahi us par khada aap ki rah takta hai
aap tazim karen aur kinare jaen

ab mayassar nahin koi bhi thikana hum ko
tum batao ki kahan dost tumhaare jaen

chand sheron ki zarurat hai unhen khatir-e-dost
wo ba-zid hain ki wo ashaar hamare jaen

raushni chahiye kuchh der zara aur hamein
chand ruk jae yahin aur sitare jaen
