bhari bahaar mein daman-e-darida hain hum log
hamein tha zoam bahaar-afrida hain hum log

ye aur baat ki daman-darida hain hum log
ba-faiz-e-ishq magar sar-kashida hain hum log

hum aaina hain magar aks-e-zat se mahrum
teri sada hain magar na-shunida hain hum log

jahan jahan bhi gae hain mahak uthi hai faza
tere firaq ki bu-e-rasida hain hum log

kadi hai dhup shajar hai na saya-e-diwar
bichhad ke us se sukun-na-chashida hain hum log

ye kis ne aaina-sazi ka fan kiya ijad
ye aaine hain ki chehra-burida hain hum log
