shaam dhalte hi tanhayion ko wapas bula lete hai

logon sang tajurba apna bhi banta jaata hai,
duniya ki chahal pehal mein din kat hi jaata hai,

ro lete hain kuch, kuch ghut pe lete hain,
shaam dhalte hi tanhayion ko wapas bula lete hai,

raat roz sitaaron ki mehfil mein kat jaati hai,
jalta hai phir chaand, chandni bhi fiki pard jaati hai,

abhi to zindagi narak banni baaki hai,
chord gayi kyun tu, poket me paise to kuch baaki hai,

meri barbadiyon ki goonj kahi se aa rahi hai,
parinde, phool, pattiyaan yahi dhun gunguna rahi hai,

daaman-e-raaj se kuch aas naa lagana yaaron
makhmal nahi,  ye to hai kaanton ka mera bichona yaaron.
