tumhein udas sa paata hun main kai din se 

na jane kaun se sadme utha rahi ho tum 

wo shokhiyan, wo tabssum, wo kah-kahe na rahe 

har ek chiz ko hasrat se dekhti ho tum 

chhupa chhupa ke Khamoshi mein apani bechaini 

Khud apne raaz ki taashir ban gyi ho tum 

meri ummid agar mit gyi to mitne do 

ummid kya hai bas ek pas-o-pesh hai kuchh bhi nahin 

merii hayaat kii Ghumginion ka Ghum na karo 

Ghum hayaat-e-Ghum ek naqsh hai kuchh bhi nahin 

tum apne husn ki ranaaiyon par raham karo 

wafaa fareb tul havas hai kuchh bhi nahin 

mujhe tumhare tagaful se kyun shikaayat ho 

meri fana meer ehsaas ka taqaaza hai 

main janta hu ke duniya ka Khauf hai tum ko 

mujhe Khabar hai ye duniya ajib duniya hai 

yahan hayaat ke parde mein maut chalti hai 

shikst saaz ki aawaaz mein ru nagma hai 

mujhe tumhari judai ka koi ranj nahin 

mere Khyal ki duniya mein mere paas ho tum 

ye tum ne thik kaha hai tumhein mila na karu 

magar mujhe bta do ki kyun udas ho tum 

hafa na ho meri jurrat-e-takhtab par 

tumhein Khabar hai meri zindagi ki aas ho tum 

mera to kuchh bhi nahin hai main ro ke ji lunga 

magar Khuda ke liye tum asir-e-ghum na raho 

hua hi kya jo zamaane ne tum ko chhin liya 

yahaan par kaun hua hai kisi ka socho to 

mujhe kasam hai meri dukh bhari jawani ki 

main khush hun meri mohabbat ke phul thukra do 

main apni ruh ki har ek Khushi mita lunga 

magar tumhari masarrat mita nahin sakta 

main Khud ko maut ke hathon mein saunp sakta hun 

magar ye bar-e-musaib utha nahin sakta 

tumhare ghum ke siwa aur bhi to ghum hain mujhe 

nijat jin se main ek lehza pa nahin sakta 

ye unche unche makano ki deva diyon ke tale 

har kaam pe bhukhe bhikariyon ki sada 

har ek ghar mein aflaas aur bhukh ka shor 

har ek simt ye insaniyat ki aah-o-buka 

ye karkhano mein lohe ka shor-o-gul jis mein 

hai dafn lakhoin Garibo ki ruuh ka nagma 

ye sharahon pe rangeen sadion ki jhalak 

ye jhopadiyo men Garibon ke be-kafan lashein 

ye maal road pe karon ki rail pail kaa shor 

ye patriyon pe Garibon ke zard_ru bachtche 

gali gali mein bikte huye jawan chehre 

haseen aankhon mein afsurdgi si chhai hui 

ye jung aur ye mere vatan ke shokh javaan 

kharidi jati hain uthati javaniyan jinki 

ye baat baat pe kanuun aur zabte kii giraft 

ye zisq ye Ghulami ye daur-e-majaburi 

ye Ghum hain bahoot meri zindagi mitaane ko 

udaas rah ke mere dil ko aur ranj na do...
