Darenche dil e umeed kuch hai tou tum ho.
Raaz e tabasum maujood kuch hai tou tum ho.
Hum ko maloom hai haqeeqat wafa lekin..
Dil e khasta ka sarood kuch hai tou tum ho.
Gar jane na kabi Kaabe ki haqeeqat hum ne
Fazail haq mere sajood kuch hai tou tum ho..
Na jane humne bisat e waqt kabi hakimu se
Daur e rawan ke namrood kuch hai tou tum ho..

Zindagi main tere aana tabeer e khawab hogaya.
Mehak gaye lamhe sare, har pal shadab hogaya.
Deed e sakoon ki aise, dekhna sairaab hogaya
Munkise Rukh yuun, be rukh mahtaab hogaya.
Khawab is pe ki main be shamil khawab hogaya
Ik apne nawaah e subuhh ka in-ti-khaab hogaya.
Neend se uthke, haqeeqat se hum khithab hogaya.
Har manzar, pase manzar, manad sarab hogaya.
