Be-sabab baat badhaane ki zarurat kya hai
Ham khafa kab the manaane ki zarurat kya hai

Apake dam se to duniya ka bharam hai kaayam
Ap jab hain to zamaane ki zarurat kya hai

Sachchi baat kahi thi mainne
Logon ne suli pe chaढ़aaya
Mujhako zahar ka jaam pilaaya
Fir bhi unako chain n aya

Le ke jahaan bhi waqt gaya hai
Zulm mila hai, zulm saha hai
Sach ka ye inaam mila hai

Apani ag ko jinda rakhana kitana mushkil hai
Patthar bich aina rakhana kitana mushkil hai

Kitana asaan hai taswir banaana auron ki
Khud ko pas-e-aina rakhana kitana mushkil hai

Rishta kya hai tera mera
Main hun shab aur tu hai sawera

Tu hai chaand sitaaron jaisa
Meri kismat ghor andhera

Fulon jaisi raahen teri
Kaanton jaisa mera dera

Ham to yun apani jindagi se mile
Ajanabi jaise ajanabi se mile

Har wafa ek jurm ho goya
Dost kuchh aisi berukhi se mile

Ful hi ful ham ne maange the
Daag hi daag jindagi se mile

Tere ane ki jab khabar mahake
Teri khushabu se saara ghar mahake

Shaam mahake tere tasawwur se
Shaam ke baad fir sahar mahake

Raatabhar sochata raha tujhako
Jahan o dil mere raatabhar mahake

Parakhana mat parakhane men koi apana nahin rahata
Kisi bhi aine men der tak chehara nahin rahata

Bade logon se milane men hamesha faasala rakhana
Jahaan dariya samndar se mila dariya nahin rahata

Dekha to mera saaya bhi mujh se juda mila
Socha to har kisi se mera silasila mila

Shahar-e-wafa men ab kise ahal-e-wafa kahen
Ham se gale mila to wo hi bewafa mila

Raat khaamosh hai chaand madahosh hai
Thaam lena mujhe ja raha hosh hai

Milan ki daastaan, dhadkanon ki jubaan
Ga rahi hai jamin sun raha asamaan
Gunagunaati hawa de rahi hai sada
Sard is raat ki garm agosh hai

Mujhase bichhad ke khush rahate ho
Meri tarah tum bhi jhuthhe ho

Ek tahani pe chaand tika tha
Main ye samajha tum baithhe ho

Ujale ujale ful khile the
Bilakul jaise tum hnsate ho
