Humsafar ban ke hum saath haiN aaj bhii, 
phir bhii hai ye safar ajanabii ajanabii, 
raah bhii ajanabii moR bhii ajanabii, 
jaayeN aakhir kidhar ajanabii ajanabii. 

zindagi ho gayi hai sulagataa safar, 
door tak aa rahaa hai dhuaaN sa nazar 
jaane kis moR par kho gayi har khushii, 
deke dard-e-jigar ajanabii ajanabii.

humne chun chun ke tinke banaayaa tha jo, 
aashiyaaN hasaratoN se sajaayaa tha jo 
hai chaman meiN wahii aashiyaaN aaj bhii, 
lag rahaa hai magar ajanabii ajanabii. 

kisko maaloom tha din ye bhii aayeNge, 
mausamoN kii tarah dil bhii badal jaayeNge 
din huaa ajanabii raat bhii ajanabii, 
har ghaRii har pahar ajanabii ajanabii.
