raam kathaa men jaane waale laakhon log raam ke jaisa banne vaala ek nahin

ja tujhe jaane diya jaanaan meri jaanaan jaan ab tu ho gaii anjaan ho jaise

hijr men tumne keval baal bigaade hain hamne jaane kitne saal bigaade hain

manzilon ka kaun jaane rahguzar achchhii nahin uski aañkhen khoobsurat hai nazar achchhii nahin

main tere baad koi tere jaisa dhoondhta hooñ jo be-vafaaii kare aur be-vafa na lage

hont jo kahte hai sab kuchh jhooth hai aankh sach kahti hai uski baat sun

tu bujha kar rakh gaya tha jabse is dil ke charaaghh hamne is ghar men nahin ki roshnai aaj tak

ham log choonki dasht ke pale hue hain so khaabo men chahe jheel hon aankhoñ men ped hain

ye gham hamko patthar kar dega ik din koi aa kar ha men rulao pahle to

kabhi dariyaa men jinki kashtiyaañ thii vahii ab sahilon pe ro rahe hain
