Tanhaiyon se guzarte hue
Darte hain, aaj phir maazi sada na de
Woh yaadon mein ulajhta pal
Aaj phir humen bula na le

Taare hain kuch thake hue
Mahtaab, unhen apni raunak na de
Darte hain dil ki tiiragi
Teri chandni chura na le

Ajnabiyon ke beech lafz bandhe hue
kahin koi kuch keh na de
jo jazbaat hi nahin rahe
unhe dohraane ki himmat na de

dil oob gaya hai is shahar se
aaj koi naya chehra saza na de
chala hai thaka musaafir phir
aaj waqt, tu use rukne ka saamaan na de
