raat ke baad wo subh kahan hai din ke baad wo sham kahan

kabhi faslon ki masafaton pe ubur ho to ye kah sukun

phera bahaar ka to baras do baras mein hai

nur-e-sahar kahan hai agar sham-e-gham gai

ibrat-abaad bhi dil hote hain insanon ke

sahar-e-azal ko jo di gai wahi aaj tak hai musafiri

main to har dhup mein sayon ka raha hun juya

kya kya pukaren sisakti dekhin lafzon ke zindanon mein

meri aankhon hi mein the an-kahe pahlu uske

bastiyan kaise na mamnun hon diwanon ki

jin KHayalon ke ulaT pher mein uljhin sansen
