raste jis taraf bulate hain
hum usi samt chalte jate hain

roz jate hain apne khwabon tak
roz chup-chap laut aate hain

udte phirte hain jo khas o khashak
ye koi dastan sunate hain

ye mohabbat bhi ek neki hai
is ko dariya mein dal aate hain

yaad ke is khandar mein aksar hum
apne dil ka suragh pate hain

sham se jal rahe hain be-masraf
in charaghon ko ab bujhate hain
