Ye Din Bahaar Ke Ab Ke Bhii Raas Na Aa Sake
Ki Gunche Khil To Sake Khil Ke Muskuraa Na Sake

Merii Tabaahii Dil Par To Raham Khaa Na Sakii
Jo Raushanii Men Rahe Raushanii Ko Paa Na Sake

Soz-E-Gam Deke Mujhe Us Ne Ye Irshaad Kiyaa
Jaa Tujhe Kash-Ma-Kash-E-Dahar Se Aazaad Kiyaa

Vo Karen Bhii To Kin Alfaaz Men Teraa Shikavaa
Jin Ko Terii Nigaah-E-Lutf Ne Barbaad Kiyaa

Qadam Insaan Kaa Raah-E-Dahar Mein Tharraa Hii Jaataa Hai
Chale Kitanaa Hii Koii Bachake Thokar Khaa Hii Jaataa Hai

[Raah-E-Dahar=path Of Life]

Naqsh-E-Khayaal Dil Se Mitaayaa Nahiin Hanoz
Bedard Main Ne Tujhako Bhulaayaa Nahiin Hanoz

Kyaa Hind Kaa Zindaan Kaanp Rahaa Guunj Rahii Hain Takbiiren
Uktaaye Hain Shaayad Kuchh Qaidii Aur Tod Rahe Hain Zanjiiren

Zindagii Khvaab-E-Pareshaan Hai Koii Kyaa Jaane
Maut Kii Larazish-E-Mizshagaan Hai Koii Kyaa Jaane

Raamish-O-Rang Ke Aivaan Mein Lailaa-E-Hayaat
Sirf Ek Raat Kii Mehamaan Hai Koii Kyaa Jaane

Ahal-E-Daval Mein Dhuum Thii Roz-E-Saiid Kii
Muflis Ke Dil Mein Thii Na Kiran Bhii Ummiid Kii

Itane Mein Aur Charkh Ne Mattii Paliid Kii
Bachche Ne Muskuraa Ke Khabar Dii Jo Iid Kii

Khaamoshii Kaa Samaan Hai Aur Main Huun
Dayaar-E-Khuftagaan Hai Aur Main Huun

[Dayaar-E-Khuftagaan=world Of Sleeping People]

Ibaadat Karate Hain Jo Log Jannat Kii Tamannaa Mein
Ibaadat To Nahiin Hai Ik Tarah Kii Vo Tijaarat Hai

Fikr Hii Thaharii To Dil Ko Fikr-E-Khubaan Kyon Na Ho
Khaak Hona Ahai To Khaak-E-Kuu-E-Jaanaan Kyon Na Ho

Ziist Hai Jab Mustaqil Aavaaraa Gardii Hii Kaa Naam
Aql Vaalo Phir Tavaaf-E-Kuu-E-Jaanaan Kyon Na Ho
