Ye rat tumhari he chamakte raho taro
wo aen na aen magar umeed na haro
shaed kisi manzil se koi qafla na aye
aashufta saro subha talak yunhi pukaro
din bhar to chaley ab zara dam le ke chalen ge
ae hamsafro aaj rat yahen guzaro
ye alam e wehshat he to kuch ho he rahe ga
manzil na sahi sar kisi dewar se maro
ojhal hue jatey hen nigahon se do alam
tum aj kahan ho gham e furqat ke saharo
khoya he usey jis ka badal koi nahi he
ye bat magar kon sune lakh pukaro
