ranj to meri chashm-e-tar mein hai
dard kaisa tere jigar mein hai

tere israr par hansun kaise
mera har gham tere nazar mein hai

mil gain sab ko manzilen lekin
zindagi meri hi safar mein hai

mere kirdar mein nahin hai jafa
bewafai tere hunar mein hai

shahr-e-insaf jis ko kahte hain
mera qatil usi nagar mein hai

wo samajhta hai be-khabar mujh ko
jo hamesha meri nazar mein hai

jis ki khatir bhula diya khud ko
wo abhi tak agar magar mein hai

jab se aain hai betiyan 'raunaq'
tab se barakat hi mere ghar mein hai
