pade the hum bhi jahan raushni mein bikhre hue
kai sitare mile us gali mein bikhre hue

meri kahani se pahle hi jaan le pyare
ki hadse hain meri zindagi mein bikhre hue

dhanak si aankh kahe bansuri ki lai mein mujhe
sitare dhund ke la naghmagi mein bikhre hue

main pur-sukun rahun jhil ki tarah yani
kisi khayal kisi khamushi mein bikhre hue

wo muskura ke koi baat kar raha tha 'shumar'
aur us ke lafz bhi the chandni mein bikhre hue
