Din saliiqe se ugaa, raat Thikaane se rahii 
dostii apanii bhii kuchh roz zamaane se rahii

chand lamhon ko hii banatii hain musavvir aankhen 
zindagii roz to tasviir banaane se rahii

is andhere men to Thokar hii ujaalaa degii 
raat jangal men koii shammaa jalaane se rahii

faasalaa chaand banaa detaa hai har patthar ko 
duur kii raushanii nazadiik to aane se rahii

shahar men sab ko kahaan milatii hai rone kii furasat
apanii izzat bhii yahaan hansane-hansaane se rahii
