Mujh pe ehsaan hava karti hai
Shab ki tanhaai mein ab to aksar
Guftugu tujh se raha karti hai
Dil ko us raah pe chalna he nahin
Jo mujhe tujh se juda karti hai
Zindagi meri thi lekin ab to
Teray kehnay mein raha karti hai
Us ne dekha he nahin varna ye aankh
Dil ka ehvaal kaha karti hai
Shaam partay he kisi shakhs ki yaad
Koocha-e-jaa.n mein sada karti hai
Dukh hua karta hai kuch aur bayaa.n
Baat kuch aur hua karti hai
Abr barsay to inaayat us ki
Shaakh to sirf dua karti hai
Masla jab bhi utha chiraaghon ka
Faisla sirf hava karti hai
