chalte rahne ke liye dil mein guman koi to ho
be-natija hi sahi par imtihan koi to ho

aasmanon ke sitam sahti hain is ke bawajud
sab zaminen chahti hain aasman koi to ho

mehrbanon hi se bach kar aae the tum dasht mein
ab yahan bhi lag raha hai mehrban koi to ho

qahqahon ko yaad rakhti hi nahin duniya kabhi
is liye dukh ki bhi pyare dastan koi to ho

kar raha hun main darakhton se musalsal guftugu
is ghane jangal mein 'danish' ham-zaban koi to ho
