ranj ke hathon git khushi ke likhwao to baat bane
tod ke ashkon ki zanjiren muskao to baat bane

shor machati aawazon se tod ke rishta pal-do-pal
khamoshi ki sargoshi gar sun pao to baat bane

gulshan mein to khushbu har-su rahti hi hai gul-rut mein
sahraon mein jaanan ghunche mahkao to baat bane

mujh ko hir sayal se matlab aur na ranjhe se kuchh kaam
tod ke bandhan rasmon ka tum aa jao to baat bane

baat wafa ki dil walon ki nagri mein hai aam bahut
shahr-e-butan mein git wafa ke ga pao to baat bane

god mein khushiyon ki har koi chain se sota hai lekin
mund ke aankhen gham banhon mein lahrao to baat bane

chand sitare tod ke lana afsanon ki baaten hain
mere liye to pyar nazar mein bhar lao to baat bane
