chaan dii sona ek taraf teraa hona ek taraf ek taraf teri aañkhen jaadu toona ek taraf

koi samandar koi nadi hoti koi dariyaa hota ham jitne pyaase the hamaara ek gilaas se kya hota taane dene se aur ham pe shak karne se behtar tha gale laga ke tumne hijrat ka dukh baat liya hota

kuchh baat hai ki hasti mitati nahin hamaari sadiyon raha hai dushman daur e zamaan hamaara

ye tum sab mil ke jo kuchh kah rahe ho main kah saka hooñ par kehna nahin hai hamaara she'r bhi sunne na aayen hamaara dukh jinhen sahna nahin hai

diya jala ke sabhi baam-o-dar men rakhte hain aur ek ham hain ise rah-guzar men rakhte hain samundron ko bhi maaloom hai hamaara mizaaj ki ham to pehla qadam hi bhanwar men rakhte hain

naksha utha ke aur koi shahar dekhiye is shahar men to sab se mulaqaat ho gaii

ghee misri bhi bhej kabhi akhbaaron men kaii dinon se chaai hai kadvi ya allah

zindagi ka muqaddar safar-dar-safar aakhiri saans tak be-qaraar aadmi

dariyaa ho ya pahaad ho takraana chahiye jab tak na saans toote ji.e jaana chahiye

ek mehfil men kaii mahfilein hoti hain shareek jis ko bhi paas se dekhoge akela hogaa
