Shab wohi lekin sitara aur hai
Ab safar ka iste’ara aur hai
Ek muththi rait men kaise thame
Is samandar ka kinara aur hai
Mauj k murne men kitni der hai
Nao dali aur dhara aur hai
Jang ka hathyar tai kuch aur tha
Teer seene men utara aur hai
Matn men to jurm sabit hai magar
Haashiya, sare ka sara aur hai
Sath to mera zamiN deti mager
Aasman ka hi ishara aur hai
Dhoop men dewaar hi kaam ayegi
Tez barish ka sahara aur hai
Haarne men ek anaa ki baat thi
Jeet jane men khasara aur hai
Sukh ke mausam ungliyoN pe gin liye
Fasl E gham ka goshwara aur hai
Der se palkeN nahi jhapkiN meri
Pesh E jaN abke nazara aur hai
Aur kuch pal us ka rasta dekh lun
Aasman par ek tara aur hai
Had chiraghon ki yahan se khatm hai
Aaj se rasta hamara aur hai
