nasib apna zara aazma ke dekhenge
charagh-e-shauq hawa mein jala ke dekhenge

machal machal ke kahan tak ye barq girti hai
chaman mein phir se nasheman bana ke dekhenge

falak ko zid hai ki hum ko rula ke dekhega
hamein ye zid hai use muskura ke dekhenge

jhukae baithe hain ab un ke dar pe sar apna
kabhi to wo hamein aankhen utha ke dekhenge

mile sakun dil-e-muztar ko wo jagah hai kahan
jahan-e-gham se bhi hum dur ja ke dekhenge

wo bach ke jaenge kab tak nazar se ai 'afat'
hum apne dil mein ab un ko basa ke dekhenge
