wafa ko jagmagana chahte hain
hum apna dil jalana chahte hain

hamein tum apne daman mein chhupa lo
musafir hain thikana chahte hain

purane zakhm bhar jaane se pahle
nai ek chot khana chahte hain

tumhaari yaad ke sayyal moti
meri palkon tak aana chahte hain

dar-e-dil par khade hain gham hazaron
ye panchhi aashiyana chahte hain

ye aankhen aur bhar aati hain 'bismil'
agar hum muskurana chahte hain
