dil mein ek shor uthate hain chale jate hain
aap jazbaat jagate hain chale jate hain

roz jalta hai sar-e-sham umidon ka charagh
daman-e-lail bujhate hain chale jate hain

waqt-e-rukhsat to qayamat ka saman hota hai
gham ko sine se lagate hain chale jate hain

hum to phirte hain mohabbat ka khazana le kar
rah nafrat mein lutate hain chale jate hain

chand lamhon ki rifaqat mein kai khwab hasin
lala-o-gul ko dikhate hain chale jate hain

khushk honton ko mere jhuta tabassum de kar
phir se aankhon ko rulate hain chale jate hain

kaun karta hai ada haqq-e-marasim 'shamsi'
log bas rasm nibhate hain chale jate hain
