sare sitaron ke hamin tanha raqib the
hum ek shab to chand ke itne qarib the

hathon ko ye gila hain bade kam-nasib hum
aankhen ye sochti hain ki hum khush-nasib the

rakkhi hai aap hi ke liye jaan sanbhaal kar
yun shahr mein kuchh aur bhi husn-e-salib the

hum mein hi kuchh kami thi jo samjhe na ja sake
warna hamare dost to sare adib the

hairan hain hum aaine mein khud ko dekh kar
jaanan tumhaare shauq bhi kitne ajib the
