rahen to bahut thin zindagi mein
hum kho gae ishq-o-ashiqi mein

jo baat kisi mein chahte the
ab tak na mili hamein kisi mein

wo lamha jo tere sath guzra
wo lamha bahut hai zindagi mein

paikar hai wo ek sadgi ka
sau rang hain us ki sadgi mein

dariya pe bhi ja ke laut aae
dube hue kaif-e-tishnagi mein

anjam-e-bahaar sujhta kya
aaghaz-e-bahaar ki khushi mein

aaise bahut aaftab ubhre
jo dub gae hain tirgi mein
