ye hai aab-e-rawan na thahrega
umr ka karwan na thahrega

chhod di hai jagah sutunon ne
sar pe ab saeban na thahrega

ret par hai asar hawaon ka
koi nam-o-nishan na thahrega

har qadam jo tumhaari samt utha
sai-e-raegan na thahrega

marhala aa gaya tasadum ka
fasla darmiyan na thahrega

dil ka sauda hai kar-e-dil-daran
farq-e-sud-o-ziyan na thahrega

kyon sunate ho sab ko haal apna
har koi raazdan na thahrega

chhod degi zamin mehwar ko
mustaqil aasman na thahrega

apni aankhon mein aaj use bhar lo
der tak ye saman na thahrega

juz teri mahfilon ke aur kahin
'abid'-e-na-tawan thahre thahrega
