daur-e-kizaan thaa dil ke chaman mein
koi aaj banake bahaar aa gayaa hai
tanhaaiyaan thin viraaniyaan thin 
koi aaj leke qaraar aa gayaa hai

koi dilakashi thi naa koi kushi thi
badi kashmakash mein ye zindagi thi
tum aa gaye jo sar-e-shaam dil ko
aaj un kayaalon pe pyaar aa gayaa hai

ye kahate rahe dil mein shab-e-gam ke saaye
chiraag-e-tamannaa koi to jalaaye
yuun chaand chamakaa nayaa nuur lekar
umangon pe jaise nikhaar aa gayaa hai

daur-e-kizaan thaa dil ke chaman mein
