jahan ke rukh pe agar khidkiyan banate hum
to sirf sans ki aasaniyan banate hum

pahan pahan ke dikhane ko dher lag jata
ye shor kat ke tanhaiyan banate hum

koi to khwab ke us par bhi pahunch jata
zara sa jagte aur kashtiyan banate hum

hamare shahr mein hoti na rasm-e-sang-zani
to canwas pe hari beriyan banate hum

sadak banate hue tum kuchal na jate hamein
mohabbaton se bhari gadiyan banate hum

ye thos mein bhi azanon se aashna hoti
agar uthan mein kuchh jaliyan banate hum

tabhi gul-o-samar-o-saya ki sanad milti
zamin ko padhte hue kyariyan banate hum

dilon mein taza hawa ki chalat-phirat rahti
tassubaat mein rahdariyan banate hum

jahan-bhar ko rihaish ki aarzu hoti
ba-tarz-e-wasl teri duriyan banate hum

ninanwe pe jame sanp se nimat lete
tere liye to faqat sidhiyan banate hum
