sapedi rang-e-jahan mein nahin milata hun
haqiqaton ko guman mein nahin milata hun

sarishk-e-gham rag-e-jaan mein nahin milata hun
main zahr aab-e-rawan mein nahin milata hun

jo kah diya ki tera hun to sirf tera hun
main jhut apne bayan mein nahin milata hun

tamam-shahr teri han mein han milata hai
akela main teri han mein nahin milata hun

tumhaara gham gham-e-duniya se dur rakkha hai
kabhi main sud ziyan mein nahin milata hun

guzar gaya jo teri yaad ke baghair kabhi
wo pal main umr-e-rawan mein nahin milata hun

sanwarta hun use raat jag kar 'arshad'
main khwab khwab-e-giran mein nahin milata hun
