jab talak aab-o-dana lagta hai
ye jahan aashiyana lagta hai

ghuncha ghuncha khila hai phulon sa
aap ka muskurana lagta hai

meri man ka diya hua rumal
dhup mein shamiyana lagta hai

aaj lambe safar pe chalte hain
aaj mausam suhana lagta hai

aise bachchon ko kaun samjhae
ghar jinhen qaid-khana lagta hai

aap ka dard dard hai lekin
dusron ka bahana lagta hai

tu wafadar hai to phir 'ulfat'
kyun bura aazmana lagta hai
