Kabhii saayaa hai kabhii dhuup muqaddar meraa,
hotaa rahataa hai yuu.N hii qarz baraabar meraa,

TuuT jaate hai.n kabhii mere kinaare mujh me.n,
Duub jaataa hai kabhii mujh me.n samandar meraa,

kisii saharaa me.n bichha.D jaaye.nge sab yaar mere,
kisii jangal me.n bhaTak jaayegaa lashkar meraa,

baavafaa thaa to mujhe puuchhane vaale bhii na the,
bevafaa huu.N to huaa naam bhii ghar ghar meraa,

kitane ha.Nsate hue mausam abhii aate lekin,
ek hii dhuup ne kumhalaa diyaa manzar meraa,

aaKhirii jur’a-e-pur_kaif ho shaayad baaqii,
ab jo chhalakaa to chhalak jaayegaa saaGhar meraa.
