bichhde hue logon ko sine mein basa rakhna
apna to muqaddar hai aankhon ko bujha rakhna

socha nahin karte hain biti hui baaton ko
bahte hue ashkon ko himmat se daba rakhna

sone si koi surat ubhregi chatanon par
suraj se do-pahri bhar ek rabt bana rakhna

shayad yahin mil jae wo shakhs jo bichhda hai
sunsan se manzar ko baaton mein laga rakhna

kandhon pe utha rakhna duniya ke har ek gham ko
aur khud ko zamana ki fitrat se juda rakhna

roen to wahi aankhen dhundhen to wahi chehra
aadat si koi jaise din raat bana rakhna

ek aas to rahti hai ye zindagi rahne tak
in bewafa logon ki fihrist bana rakhna
