mirī apnī aur us kī aarzū meñ farq ye thā

mujhe bas vo use saarā zamāna chāhiye thā

meri apni aur us ki aarzu mein farq ye tha

mujhe bas wo use sara zamana chahiye tha

shab bhī hai vahī ham bhī vahī tum bhī vahī ho

hai ab ke magar apnī sazā aur tarah kī

shab bhi hai wahi hum bhi wahi tum bhi wahi ho

hai ab ke magar apni saza aur tarah ki

apne saare rāste andar kī jānib moḌ kar

manziloñ kā ik nishāñ bāhar banānā chāhiye

apne sare raste andar ki jaanib moD kar

manzilon ka ek nishan bahar banana chahiye

jab raakh se uTThegā kabhī ishq kā sho.ala

phir pā.egī ye ḳhaak shifā aur tarah kī

jab rakh se uTThega kabhi ishq ka shoala

phir paegi ye KHak shifa aur tarah ki

mire nukta-dāñ tirā fahm apnī misāl hai

maiñ huuñ ek saada savāl koī javāb de

mere nukta-dan tera fahm apni misal hai

main hun ek sada sawal koi jawab de
