fasle aise ki ik umr men tai ho na saken
qurbaten aisi ki khud mujh men janam hai us ka

mujhe dushman se apne ishq sa hai
main tanha aadmi ki dosti huun

is shahr men hai kaun hamara tire siva
ye kya ki tu bhi apna kabhi ham-nava na ho

ye kis jagah pe qadam ruk ga.e hain kya kahiye
ki manzilon ke nishan tak miTa ke baiThe hain

jaane kyuun un se milte rahte hain
khush vo kya honge jab khafa hi nahin

sailab-e-zindagi ke sahare baDhe chalo
sahil pe rahne valon ka nam-o-nishan nahin

is shahr mein hai kaun hamaaraa tire sivaa
ye kyaa ki tu bhi apnaa kabhi ham-navaa na ho

jaane kin mushkilon se jiite hain
kyaa karein koi mehrbaan na rahaa

ham milein yaa na milein phir bhi kabhi khvaabon mein
muskuraati hui aaeingi hamaari baatein

jaane kyuun un se milte rahte hain
khush vo kyaa honge jab khafaa hi nahin

aisi begaanagi nahin dekhi
ab kisi kaa koi yahaan na rahaa

sailaab-e-zindagi ke sahaare baDhe chalo
saahil pe rahne vaalon kaa naam-o-nishaan nahin
