woh jab jab aas dunyaa se lagaataa hai!

woh jab jab aas dunyaa se lagaataa hai!
dil e naadaaN faqat dhokhe hi khaataa hai,

yeh dil kambakh't jab rone pe aataa hai,
zaraa see baat pe daryaa bahaataa hai!

jo pairaahan tale nishtar chhipaataa hai!
lahoo ik din woh apnaa hee bahaataa hai,

bataa auroN ko mujrim kahne se pehle,
gunaahoN kaa hisaab apnaa lagaataa hai?

laRakpan meN tujhe unglee thamaataa thaa,
use too aaj baisaakhee thamaataa hai?

judaa hai qaafile se rahguzar jis kee,
wo hee ik din nayee raahe dikhaataa hai!

nashaa e yak nazar ulfat naheeN hotaa,
nashe meN aadamee dhokhaa bhee khaataa hai!

tiraa woh choomanaa peshaani ko meree,
mire maathe kee har salwaT miTaataa hai!
