pyar ka ek pal sukun-e-zindagi de jaega
khatm jo hone na pae wo khushi de jaega

wo khulus-o-mehr ka paikar banam-e-dostan
dushmanon ko bhi shuur-e-dosti de jaega

husn-e-fitrat jalwa-gar ho kar yaqinan ek din
rang kaliyon ko gulon ko dilkashi de jaega

aaega wo din hamari zindagi mein bhi zarur
jo andheron ko mita kar raushni de jaega

wo bhi lamha aaega 'taban' rah-e-hasti mein jo
tere pazhmurda labon ko ko de jaega
