band ho jae meri aankh agar
is dariche ko khula rahne do

ye daricha hai ufuq aaina
is mein raqsan hain jahan ke manzar

is dariche ko khula rahne do
is dariche se ubharti dekhi

chand ki sham
sitaron ki sahar

is dariche ko khula rahne do
is dariche se kiye hain main ne

kai be-chashm nazare
kai be-rah safar

is dariche ko khula rahne do
ye daricha hai meri shauq ka chaak-e-daman

meri badnam nigahen, meri ruswa aankhen
ye daricha hai meri tishna-nazar

band ho jae meri aankh agar
is dariche ko khula rahne do
