mera bachpan bhi khub bachpan tha
meri duniya bhi khubsurat thi

dil mein dahshat thi koi aur na khauf
doston mein badi mohabbat thi

dekhte dekhte jawan hua
aur duniya badal gai meri

pyar ke jis pe phul khilte the
wo hasin shakh jal gai meri

aaj aalam na puchhiye mujh se
har taraf ek khauf tari hai

pyar ka gulsitan tha jo bhaarat
us mein nafrat ki jang jari hai

eid hoti to hai baroz-e-eid
eid ki si khushi nahin hoti

dip jalte to hain diwali ke
pyar ki raushni nahin hoti

phir unhin saaton ko lauta de
ai khuda-wand ai mere mabud

phir ye hangama ai khuda kya hai
jab ki tujh bin nahin koi maujud
