akela din hai koi aur na tanha raat hoti hai
main jis pal se guzarta hun mohabbat sath hoti hai

teri aawaz ko is shahr ki lahren tarasti hain
ghalat number milata hun to pahron baat hoti hai

saron par khauf-e-ruswai ki chadar tan lete ho
tumhaare waste rangon ki jab barsat hoti hai

kahin chidiyan chahakti hain kahin kaliyan chatakti hain
magar mere makan se aasman tak raat hoti hai

kise aabaad samjhun kis ka shahr-ashob likhun main
jahan shahron ki yaksan surat-e-haalat hoti hai
