batlaenge hum ki kya nahin the
sab kuchh the faqat khuda nahin the

aafat ne dhar liya hai jabki
hum dard se aashna nahin the

aawaz the hum bhi bulbulon ki
aahu ki magar sada nahin the

wo kar ke sitam the hum se nalan
hum sah ke sitam khafa nahin the

ek daur tha apni zindagi thi
jab ishq mein mubtala nahin the

ummid thi jin se rahbari ki
rahzan the wo rahnuma nahin the
