hath uthte hi kata chaliye yahan se chaliye
kya dua kaisi dua chaliye yahan se chaliye

baz hai koi daricha na koi dar hai khula
koi jalwa na ada chaliye yahan se chalen

us ke ghar par bhi wahi shahr-e-khamoshan ka saman
koi aahat na sada chaliye yahan se chaliye

khwab khushbu-e-talab rang-e-hawas naz-e-wafa
sara sarmaya gaya chaliye yahan se chaliye

koi saya na shajar koi tamanna na umang
ud gai sar se rida chaliye yahan se chaliye

is chaka-chaund mein sikkon ki parakh kya hogi
koi khota na khara chaliye yahan se chaliye

doston hi ke qabile mein ye kohram nahin
dushmanon ne bhi kaha chaliye yahan se chaliye
