pahle bante the makan basne basane ke liye
ab makan bante hain duniya ko dikhane ke liye

ishq to ye hai tere nam pe mit jaun main
kyun likhun nam hatheli pe mitane ke liye

tera aashiq tere qadmon se lipat jaega
ruthne wale tujhe aaj manane ke liye

gham-zada dekh ke hansta hai zamana 'ishraq'
hansna padta hai yahan gham ko chhupane ke liye
