choti si umeedon ko aisa aitbar mila

unki baahon mein ajeeb sa sansar mila,
manga tha khuda se itna pyaar mila,

dekhta rahu ek takk ban ke chakor,
humko eshe chand ka didar mila,

gujar loon tamam umar jiski baaho mein,
aye dil batla kyu itna isko intezaar mila,

kitna tannha tha zindagi jo yeh pal na tha,
khil gaye dil mein phool aisa khushgubaar mila,

koi chedta tha dil se banke ajnabi,
lagta hai beshak hi koi humko dildar mila,

mat cherd aye dil, kahi pagal na ho jaau,
choti si umeedon ko aisa aitbar mila.
