dil ke zakhmon ki lawen aur ubhaaro logo
aaj ki raat kisi tarah guzaro logo

ruth kar zindagi kya jaane kidhar jaane lagi
is tarah daudo zara us ko pukaro logo

kitni saj-dhaj hai nigar-e-gham-o-alam ki aaj
is ki shokhi ko zara aur nikhaaro logo

sarkhushi ab bhi tamashai hai maikhane mein
is sitamgar ko to shishe mein utaro logo

shahr-e-dil mein ye ghata-top andhera kyun hai
phir kisi chand si surat ko pukaro logo

sham-e-ehsas bujha kar hain sar-e-arsh-e-barin
is bulandi se hamein tum na utaro logo

lo 'shoeb' aa hi gaya qafila-e-dard ke sath
jaan-o-dil tum bhi kahin aaj na haaro logo
