Tute hue dil bhi kabhi judtey hoNge,
Be-wafa bhi kabhi wafa karety hoNge,

Gum nahi jo mujhe bhool gaye woh,
Baad mere kisi aur ko yaad kartey hoNge,

Phool to shamshan.o mein bhi khiltey hoNge,
Magar mahke bina hi murja jatey hoNge,

Chorr apna desh jo ja base haiN pardes,
Unhey apne kaha begane hi miltey hoNge,

Loot ke le jaye jab koi neend ankho.n se,
Phir anko.n mein khaab kaha paltey hoNge,

Kabhi na socha tha zindgi ke safar mein,
Mujse juda kabhi uske rastey hoNge,

Hanstey muskuratey chehro.n mein “nahal”
Dard chup chup kar kahi paltey hoNge.
