ham bhi mit jaate koyi zakm-e-tamanna ban kar
kaash aati na teri yaad masiha ban kar

dil ki har aag bujhaane ko teri yaad aayi
kabhi qatara kabhi shabanam kabhi dariya ban kar

raasta bhuul gayi yaad kisi ki warana
ham garibon ke ghar aati na ujaala ban kar

jab chale dasht ki jaanib to ye dekha hamane
saamane yaad khadi thi teri laila ban kar
