pal-do-pal ko ubhra hi tha dub gaya
shor-sharabe mein sannata dub gaya

chanchal armanon ka dariya dub gaya
reg-zar mein dil ke kya kya dub gaya

ishq dosti azm-e-wafa aur sachchai
majburi mein har ek jazba dub gaya

sahil par to us ke lakhon sathi the
jab duba wo shakhs akela dub gaya

dur ufuq ke par tilismi wadi mein
wo dekho ek aur sitara dub gaya

khush-haali ki dhup mein sang sang raha mere
zulmat mein wo mera saya dub gaya

aankhen thin ya wo madira ka sagar thin
kya karta pardesi pyasa dub gaya

kar-e-khair mein dhan ko lutaya 'sima' ne
kis ne kaha us ka sarmaya dub gaya
