ye hum ko kaun si duniya ki dhun aawara rakhti hai
ki khud sabit-qadam rah kar hamein sayyara rakhti hai

agar bujhne lagen hum to hawa-e-sham-e-tanhai
kisi mehrab mein ja kar hamein dobara rakhti hai

chalo hum dhup jaise log hi us ko nikal aaen
suna hai wo nadi tah mein koi mah-para rakhti hai

hamein kis kaam par mamur karti hai ye duniya bhi
ki tarsil-e-gham-e-dil ke liye harkara rakhti hai

kabhi sar phodne deti nahin diwar se 'tabish'
ye kya diwangi hai jo hamein nakara rakhti hai
