Shab o roz rone se kyaa faayadah hai
Garebaan bhigone se kyaa faayadah hai

Jahaan phool khud hi karen kaar e nishtar
Wahaan khaar bone se kyaa faayadah hai

Ujaalon ko dhoondo sahar ko pukaaro
Andheron men rone se kyaa faayadah hai

Hamen modnaa hai rukh e mauj toofaan
Safeenaa dubone se kyaa faayadah hai 

Teri yaad se dil ko bahalaa rahaa hoon
Magar is khilone se kyaa faayadah hai 

Sitaaron se noor e sahar chiin lo tum
Shab e gham men rone se kyaa faayadah hai 

Parishaaniyaan haasil e zindagi hain
Parishaan hone se kyaa faayadah hai 

Wahi teergi hai abhi tak dilon men 
Zia subah hone se kyaa faayadah hai
