raushni ban kar bikharne ke liye
zindagi hai ishq karne ke liye

ungliyon ko hum qalam karte rahe
chahaton mein rang bharne ke liye

tod dala hai khud apne aap ko
ek ghar tamir karne ke liye

aaine mein ru-ba-ru tha ajnabi
aaj jab socha sanwarne ke liye

main wazifa padh rahi hun raat-din
aap ke dil mein utarne ke liye

jaanti hun ek bahana chahiye
aap ko mujh se mukarne ke liye
