hum aandhiyon ke ban mein kisi karwan ke the
jaane kahan se aae hain jaane kahan ke the

ai jaan-e-dastan tujhe aaya kabhi khayal
wo log kya hue jo teri dastan ke the

hum tere aastan pe ye kahne ko aae hain
wo khak ho gae jo tere aastan ke the

mil kar tapak se na hamein kijiye udas
khatir na kijiye kabhi hum bhi yahan ke the

kya puchhte ho nam-o-nishan-e-musafiran
hindostan mein aae hain hindostan ke the

ab khak ud rahi hai yahan intizar ki
ai dil ye baam-o-dar kisi jaan-e-jahan ke the

hum kis ko den bhala dar-o-diwar ka hisab
ye hum jo hain zamin ke na the aasman ke the

hum se chhina hai naf-piyala tera miyan
goya azal se hum saf-e-lab-tishnagan ke the

hum ko haqiqaton ne kiya hai kharab-o-khwar
hum khwab-e-khwab aur guman-e-guman ke the

sad-yaad-e-yaad 'jaun' wo hangam-e-dil ki jab
hum ek gam ke na the par haft-khwan ke the

wo rishta-ha-e-zat jo barbaad ho gae
mere guman ke the ki tumhaare guman ke the
