hum ne ye baat sab ki zaban se suni to hai
is waqt uljhanon mein har ek aadmi to hai

hum ko safir-e-shahr-e-wafa manti to hai
duniya ye hum ko jaanti pahchanti to hai

qarun ka khazana main le kar karunga kya
mujh ko kisi ke pyar ki daulat mili to hai

ummid ka charagh jalata hun is liye
ummid ke charagh mein kuchh raushni to hai

har shakhs kah raha hai bura mujh ko shahr mein
mujh mein zarur koi na koi kami to hai

parde mein tum hansi ke chhupao hazar gham
lekin tumhaari aankhon mein 'sahir' nami to hai
