ek bikharte aashiyan ki baat hai
ek shikasta saeban ki baat hai

mere mathe ke nishan ki baat hai
un ke sang-e-astan ki baat hai

dard-o-gham ke qafile ka zikr hai
ashk ki mauj-e-rawan ki baat hai

ruh ka rishta hai ye tera mera
ye bhala kab jism-o-jaan ki baat hai

log jo kahte hain tum ko bewafa
tum batao ye kahan ki baat hai

zakhm bhar kar phir hare kaise hue
bas kaf-e-chaara-garan ki baat hai

sach wahi hai jo abhi main ne kaha
baqi zeb-e-dastan ki baat hai
