mere mahbub des ki galiyo
tum ko aur apne doston ko salam

apne zakhmi shabab ko taslim
apne bachpan ke qahqahon ko salam

umr bhar ke liye tumhaare pas
rah gai hai shaguftagi meri

aakhiri raat ke udas diyo
yaad hai tum ko bebasi meri

yaad hai tum ko jab bhulae the
umr-bhar ke kiye hue wade

rasm-o-mazhab ki ek pujaran ne
ek chandi ke dewta ke liye

jaane is kar-gah-e-hasti mein
us ko wo dewta mila ki nahin

meri kaliyon ka khun pi kar bhi
us ka apna kanwal khila ki nahin

aaj-kal us ke apne daman mein
pyar ke git hain ki paise hain

tum ko malum ho to batlana
us ke aanchal ke rang kaise hain

mujh ko aawaz do ki subh ki os
kya mujhe ab bhi yaad karti hai

mere ghar ki udas chaukhat par
kya kabhi chandni utarti hai
