ranj sahte hain gham uthate hain
phir bhi hum muskurae jate hain

tere kushton ki hai yahi ganga
apne hi khun mein nahate hain

zabt se lakh kaam le koi
ishq ke raaz khul hi jate hain

hum sa dushman na ho koi apna
dosti ka fareb khate hain

dil churaya nahin agar mera
mujh se aankhen wo kyon churaate hain

soz-e-ulfat ke dil-nashin naghme
saz-e-dil par hi gae jate hain

khush-dili aate aate aati hai
ranj-o-gham jate jate jate hain

rashk ki had hai ye ki hum un ko
apni nazron se bhi chhupate hain

manzil-e-dost aa gai 'shaida'
panw kyon ladkhadae jate hain
