raushni lene chale the aur andhere chha gae
muskurane bhi na pae the ki aansu aa gae

aaj kitne dost mujh ko dekh kar katra gae
allah allah ab mohabbat mein ye din bhi aa gae

jab bhi aaya hai kisi ko bhul jaane ka khayal
yak-ba-yak aawaz aai lijiye hum aa gae

aah wo manzil jo meri ghaflaton se gum hui
hae wo rahbar jo mujh ko rah se bhatka gae

phir ye rah rah kar kisi ki yaad tadpati hai kyun
ab to hum tark-e-mohabbat ki qasam bhi kha gae

dekh kar un ki nigah-e-lutf ek muddat ke baad
kya bataen kya khayal aaya ki aansu aa gae

un ke hi qadmon ki aahat raat bhar aati rahi
dil ki har dhadkan pe hum samjhe ki wo khud aa gae

ab koi dair o haram se bhi sada aati nahin
hum teri dhun mein khuda jaane kahan tak aa gae
