khushbu hain to har daur ko mahkaenge hum log
mitti hain to pal bhar mein bikhar jaenge hum log

ye shoala-e-be-mehr to bas aanch hi dega
han aur tere husn se kya paenge hum log

kya hum se bachoge ki jidhar jaengi nazren
is aaina-khane mein jhalak jaenge hum log

kahna hai ye na-qadri-e-arbab-e-jahan se
ek bar jo bikhre to na hath aaenge hum log

baitho ki abhi hai ye ghani chhanw mayassar
dhalta hua saya hain guzar jaenge hum log

hum ruh-e-safar hain hamein namon se na pahchan
kal aur kisi nam se aa jaenge hum log
