ham bhi gaav men shaam ko baitha karte the hamko bhi haalaat ne baahar bheja hai

uljh karke teri agar men yuñ aabaad ho jaaun ki jaise lucknow ka main ameenabad ho jaaun main yamuna ki tarah tanhaa nihaaru taaj ko kab tak koi ganga mile to main ilahaabad ho jaaun

ham kuchh aise tere deedaar men kho jaate hain jaise bacche bhare bazaar men kho jaate hain

rang-o-ras ki havas aur bas mas'ala dastaras aur bas yoon buni hain ragein jism ki ek nas tas se mas aur bas

bacchon ke chhote haathon ko chaand sitaare choone do chaar kitaaben padh kar ye bhi ham jaise ho jaayenge

jis taraf tu hai udhar hongi sabhi ki nazrein eed ke chaand ka deedaar bahaana hi sahi

kahaan aa ke rukne the raaste kahaan mod tha use bhool ja vo jo mil gaya use yaad rakh jo nahin mila use bhool ja

vo tire naseeb ki baarishen kisi aur chat pe baras gaiin dil-e-be-khabar mirii baat sun use bhool ja use bhool ja

vo jo geet tum ne suna nahin meri umr bhar ka riyaaz tha mere dard ki thii vo dastaan jise tum hañsi men uda ga.e

sawaal ye hai ki aapas men ham milen kaise hamesha saath to chalte hain do kinaare bhi
