kehta hai dil chal raaj kahi aur chal

pathron se bante nahi ashiyaan pyaron,
dilon ki kaise yeh bastiyaan pyaron,

hasil nahi aag ke iss dariya se kuch bhi,
dariya-e-ishq mein dubey kitni kashtiyaan pyaron,

woh mera nahi phir kyun apni si lagti hai,
tufanon mein girti hain aksar bijliyaan pyaron,

raaj dhuunde mukaam zindagi ka,
mili har dil mein bas tanhaiyaan pyaron,

afsana nahi baki koi sunane ko yahan,
banti mit-ti yahan kitni zindgiyaan pyaron,

jhuut mein pisti kitni kahaniyaan yahan,
har taraf dikhti hai bas baimaniyaan pyaron,

kehta hai dil chal raaj kahi aur chal,
dil ko nahi bhati abb tasaliyaan pyaron.
