ek umr se hum tum aashna hain
hum se mah o anjum aashna hain

dil dubta ja raha hai paiham
lab hain ki tabassum aashna hain

un manzilon ka suragh kam hai
jin manzilon mein gum aashna hain

kuchh chaara-e-dard-e-ashnai
kis soch mein gum-sum aashna hain

is daur mein tishna-kaam saqi
hum jaise kai khum-ashna hain
