raushni ka parda hai darmiyan tere mere aur pyar jari hai
pyar mein mohabbat mein hum na khud ko badlenge aisi apni yari hai

hath mein jo aankhen hain in pe hi faqat takiya kis qadar hai na-kafi
kuchh madad bhi li jae dusron se auron se ye bhi hoshiyari hai

dhang hai samaat ka rang hai basarat ka be-tarah-o-be-mani
nang ke liye dauden hum bhi sari duniya mein ek jang jari hai

surkh lafz hain mere main bhi sher kahta hun aur jab sunata hun
koi bol uthta hai sher sher mein tere ek gham-gusari hai

sar barahna shakhon par ek din wo aata hai aur gulab khilte hain
tajraba hai ye apna hum ne bhi yahan aakhir zindagi guzari hai

aankh wale sawan mein ek baat dekhi hai aur kah bhi dun tum se
tishnagi mitata hai dil ki tishnagi ka ye qudrati shikari hai

bujh rahi hain kyon aankhen sath mah-o-anjum ke kaun sa ye suraj hai
zindagi na chhin jae aarzi si to 'bedi' zindagi hamari hai
