Kisi ki yaad ne jagaya mujh ko raat bhar,
Kya saja di hai mohabbat ne khudaya mujh ko.

Din ko na araam hai na raat ko chain hai,
Jane kis khak se banaya hai kudrat ne mujh ko!

Dukh to yeh hai ki jamane mile gair sabhi,
Jo mila, woh mila ban k paraya mujh ko ban ke.

Jab koi kandha na rone ko,
Ghar ki diwaro ne gale lagay mujhko.

U to umid e wafa nahi hai tum se koi,
Fir charagaho ki tarah kis ne jalaya mujho?

Bewafa jindagi ne jab chora hai tanha,
Maut ne payar se pehluo me bithaya hai mujh ko.

Voh diya hu jise mohbbt ne kabhi jalaya tha kabhi,
Gum ki andhi ne sar e aam bujhaya hai mujh ko.

Kaise kahu woh vasal k lamhien?
Yaad aata raha mujhe julfo ka saaya mujh ko
