tez hawaen hain gham ki
khair manao mausam ki

jab hum ne kuchh ghaur kiya
dil mein ek kiran chamki

aaj bhi hai apni hi jagah
baat hayat-e-barham ki

paen bhi to kya tabir
hum ek khwab-e-mubham ki

phul se hanste chehre hain
raunaq bagh-e-alam ki

tum bhi wahi ho hum bhi wahi
koshish sab ne paiham ki

zauq-e-safar hai husn-e-nazar
kuchh bhi kaho pech-o-kham ki

kaise ho hassas 'rabab'
ab kya surat hai gham ki
