lab tak aaya gila hamesha se
aur main chup raha hamesha se

sab hawaon se jang karta raha
ek nanha diya hamesha se

soch par lag saki na pabandi
yun hi aai hawa hamesha se

kitni shaklen badal ke aata hai
ek wahi waqia hamesha se

baat aasudgi ki hoti hai
kaun kis ko mila hamesha se

yaad karta raha kisi ko koi
phul dil mein khila hamesha se

us nigah ke sabab se paya hai
sab ne apna pata hamesha se

adl fariyaad se mila na kabhi
waqt chikha kiya hamesha se

ye fareb-e-wafa naya to nahin
yun hi hota raha hamesha se

sab use dhundte rahe aur wo
yun hi chhupta raha hamesha se

bachche sun kar kahani kahte hain
yun hi kaise hua hamesha se

zindagi itni raegan kyun hai
kyun na wo mil saka hamesha se

wo jo dariya ke bich rahta hai
wahi pyasa mila hamesha se

sab parinde faza mein udte hain
jal bichhta raha hamesha se

karwan raste mein chalte rahe
rasta chup raha hamesha se

qimti tha hawa-e-gham ke liye
ek dil ka diya hamesha se

chhoti chhoti si khwahishon ke liye
koi zinda raha hamesha se

dil hai kya chiz hal hua na kabhi
mera ye masala hamesha se

har musafir ke sath aata hai
ek naya rasta hamesha se

aaj tak ye nahin khula aadil
kya hua faisla hamesha se

hui dar-asl mat kis ko yahan
jit mein kaun tha hamesha se
