iss andheri nagari mein tu apna saath de maula

meri khwahish ab naa koi, bas ek teri jhalak de maula,
chand ki roshni na sahi, mann ka darpan saaf de maula,

kisko samjhu gair yaha par, kisko samjhu main apna,
yahi samjhne ke liye mujhe ek achi soch de maula,

aab-o-hawa bhi kuch aisi badli hai koi nahi hai apna,
iss andheri muskil nagari mein tu apna saath de maula,

har pal un lamho ko sochkar ghut-ghut kar main rota hoon,
khawab-e-guzishtan ki yaado se mujhe mukt kar de maula,

iss matlab parsat duniya mein bas tu hi hai sirf mera,
apne kadamo mein hi ab tu mujhko jagah de maula,

meri khwahish ab naa koi bas ab teri ek jhalak de maula,
chand ki roshni na sahi mann ka darpan saaf de maula.
