Woh gajal ki jaise hiran ki aankho mein
pichhali raat ki chandni,

na bujhe viran ki roshni
kabhi bechirag yeh ghar na ho,

kabhi din ki dhup mein jhum kar
kabhi raat ke phool ko choom kar,

yun hi saath saath chalein sada
kabhi khatam apna safar na ho,

mere pass mere dost aa
jara or dil ke karib aa,

tujhe dhadkano mein basa lu main
ki bichhdane ka koi dar na ho….

Na khusi de toh kuchh dilasha,
dost jaise ho mujhko bahla de,

chetna se mili hai tanhai,
aa meri jaan mujhko dhoka de,

ab toh poorti ki bhi shart nahi,
zindagi ab toh ek tamanna de,

eh safar itna bekar to na jaa,
na ho manjil kahin toh pahuncha de,

tark karna hai gar taallk toh,
khud na jaa tu kisi se kahla de…

Tumko samjhaata hu isliye eh dost,
kyuki sabko hi aajma chuka hu main,

kahin tumko bhi pachhtana na pade yahan,
kyonki hasino se dhokha kha chuka hu main…

Hum phool hain gulab sahi,
daaman kaanto ne thama hai,

apno ne hamein thukraya hai,
haath gairo ne thama hai,

roti hai aaj hum par tanhai humari,
woh bhi na paaye shayad parchhayi humaari,

tumhaari dosti ko dekhkar sabhi rask karta hain,
jo bas chalta to duniya chin leti zindagi teri…

Khat mein likhe huye ranjish ke kalaam yaad aate hain,
kis kayamat ke yeh naame mere naam aate hain,

tab e nazaara kise dekhe jo unke jalwe,
bijliyan kondhati hain jab lam e baam aate hain,

to sahi hasr mein tujh se jo na yeh kahlwa doo,
dost woh hote hain jo vakt pe kaam aate hain,

sabr karta hai kabhi aur tadpata hai kabhi,
dil e naakam ko apne yeh hi kaam aate hain…

Kaid karna chahe koi zindagi ko,
rokna chahe ufanati roshani ko,

jawani mein ang ke ubhrenge nakshe,
chhipa le muthhi mein kaise chandani ko,

tod lo jo tod paao chand suraj,
pakad lo jo pakad paao kamsini ko,

aana jana chhod doge chaha jitna,
janchna hoga samay ki rahjani ko,

dosti ki baaten karna chahae jitni,
bhulna mumkin na hoga dushmani ko,

khush toh honge dekhkar foolon ki ghati,
kya karoge jakham khayi diljali ko…
