barson se ye baam-o-dar ki jin par
mahki hui subh ke hain bose

yaadon ke yahi nagar ki jin par
sajte hain ye sham ke dhundalke

ye mod ye rahguzar ki jin par
lagte hain udasiyon ke mele

hain mere aziz mere sathi
kab se mera aasra rahe hain

sunte hain ye mere dil ki dhadkan
jaise ye mujhe sikha rahe hain

hans-bol ke umr kat dena
mere yahi dast-o-pa rahe hain

barson se ye meri zindagi hain
barson se main in ko jaanta hun

hain meri wafa pe ye bhi nazan
har baat main in ki manta hun

lekin mere dil ko kya hua hai
main aaj kuchh aur thanta hun

lagta hai ye shahr-e-dil-baran bhi
hai panw ki mere koi zanjir

bas ek hi raat ek din hai
har roz wahi purani taswir

har subh wahi purane chehre
ho jate hain sham ko jo dil-gir

ab aur kahin se chal ke dekhen
kis tarah sahar ki narm kaliyan

kirnon ka salam le rahi hain
jag uthti hain kis tarah se galiyan

sab kaam pe aise ja rahe hain
jaise ki manaen rang-raliyan

dekhen kahin sham ko nikal kar
dhalte hue ajnabi se sae

yun hath mein hath le rahe hon
jaise kahin ghas sarsarae

is tarah se panw chal rahe hon
jaise kai pi ke ladkhadae

aane hi ko hon milan ki ghadiyan
suraj kahin gham ka dubta ho

mahki ho kahin pe shab ki dulhan
kachnar kahin pe khil raha ho

har gam pe ek naya ho aalam
har mod pe ek naya khuda ho
