wo mujh par is tarah bhi mehrban ho
jahan jaun wo pahle se wahan ho

ishaaron mein kaha gunge ne hum se
zaban hote hue bhi be-zaban ho

ye ruhen bhi badan ke sath jaen
agar zer-e-zamin bhi aasman ho

zaruri hai ki khud chalte raho tum
zaruri ye nahin hai karwan ho

ajab school hai ye zindagi ka
jahan ustad ka bhi imtihan ho

kabhi khud se akele bhi milun main
hamesha aaina kyun darmiyan ho

use qaidi nahin aazad samjho
jo zanjiren pahan kar shadman ho
