zindagani wo mo'atabar hogi
jo mohabbat ke nam par hogi

hogi phulon ki manzilat malum
umr kanton mein jab basar hogi

dil rahega to khun-e-dil hoga
ashk honge to chashm tar hogi

jo tujhe dekh ke palat aae
wo nazar bhi koi nazar hogi

raat to din ki ek alamat hai
raat hogi to ek sahar hogi

raat-bhar hum jalenge furqat mein
raushni aaj raat-bhar hogi

bekali ka guman 'atash' tha magar
ye na samjha tha is qadar hogi
