wo sirf qisse kahaniyon ke muamle the charagh rakh de
charagh ghisne se koi jin-win nahin nikalte charagh rakh de

hamari masumiyat to dekho rakh aae dil hum huzur-e-jaanan
ki jaise koi khuda ka banda hawa ke aage charagh rakh de

kisi ke sae ko qaid karne ka ek tariqa bata raha hun
ek us ke aage charagh rakh de ek us ke pichhe charagh rakh de

tujhe bahut shauq tha mohabbat ki garm lapton se khelne ka
le jal gai na hatheli ab khush kaha tha main ne charagh rakh de

charagh le ke bhi dhundne se charagh jaisa nahin milega
so rakhni hai to charagh se rakh nahin to pyare charagh rakh de

charagh raushan zarur kar to par is se pahle khuda ki khatir
yahan pe phaila hai jo andhera samet zer-e-charagh rakh de

main dil ki baaton mein aa gaya aur utha ke le aaya us ki pael
dimagh deta raha sadaen charagh rakh de charagh rakh de
