safed kale hare gulabi ya nile pile uchhaal dena
umid be-rang si dikhe to ye rang sare uchhaal dena

tum apne lahje ki sadgi ko bina bigade uchhaal dena
aman khaton ka khayal chhodo hawa mein bose uchhaal dena

udasiyon ke nagar ke aage koi to dariya zarur hoga
jahan duaon ki suraton mein tum apne sikke uchhaal dena

kisi ke dil mein tum is tarah se utarna jaise nadi mein chanda
phir us ki aankhon ki samt sare falak ke tare uchhaal dena

wo apne gham se hatash ho kar kahin na apni hi jaan le le
so hum khuda se kahenge us ke ghamon ko hum pe uchhaal dena

meri hayat-o-sukhan ki wusat tawil hai la-sukhan hai phir bhi
koi jo puchhe meri kahani to mere misre uchhaal dena
