wo dil ki baaten zamane-bhar ko na yun sunata mujhe batata
wo ek daf’a meri mohabbat ko aazmata mujhe batata

zaban-e-khilqat se jaane kya kya wo mujh ko bawar kara raha hai
kisi bahane ana ki diwar ko giraata mujhe batata

zamane walon ko kya padi hai sunen jo haal-e-dil-e-shikasta
magar meri to ye aarzu thi mujhe bulata mujhe batata

mujhe khabar hai ki chupke-chupke andhere us ko nigal rahe hain
main us ki rahon mein apne dil ka diya jalata mujhe batata

sitam kiya hai 'munir' us ne jo shahr chhoda hai khamushi se
main us ki khatir ye sari duniya bhi chhod jata mujhe batata
