Aaj pehli baar unse rubaru hokar,
Maine us Chetan ko jana hai,
Jisey hasna ata hai,
Aisa lag raha hai mano jaisey,
Jhum raha hai sara alaam,
Fizaein ga rahin ho,
Parvat nachne lagey ho,
Har taraf koyal ki kook hi sunai de rahi ho,
Jaisey patzad ki jagah,
Basant ne,
Aangan mai kadam rakh diya ho,
Itni khushi ho rahi hai,
Ke jaisey,
Sehra mai bhatakte huye kisi pyase ko,
Nir ki ek boond mil jaye,
Jo uski rooh ko,
Us Tazgi ka ehsaas karade,
Jisey jannat kehtey hai,
Warna ab tak toh aisi halat thi,
Jiske chaltey roz us malik se puchte,
Ki ae parvardigar bas itna bata de,
Ke kya hui khata mujhse,
Jo mili hai mujhe aisi saza,
Jiske rehtey dil toh rota hai,
Magar aankhein inkar karti hai,
Par kahin ek ummid thi baki,
Jiske karam se hum abtak zinda rahe,
Ke kabhi toh milengi hamein bhi,
Apne hissey ki khushiyaan,
Bas dekhana toh yeh tha ke,
Ye kamal kis din hoga,
Magar shukriyaa tera ae mere khudaya,
Us din ka deedar,
Tuney kayamat se pehle hi kara diya,
Warna humne toh khushiyoon ke,
Saye taley jeena sikh liya tha,
Tahnhaiyoon ki chikhon ko hi hum,
Sargam ke saat sur samajh baithey the,
Gum ko hi apna sangi bana liya the,
Dard ko hi marham mann,
Apne jhakmo pe lagatey the,
Mehkhane ko ghar,
Aur ghar ko,
Mehkhana bana baithey the,
Ab bas ek aakhri ilteja hai ae mere hafiz,
Dekhna ke mere daaman mai padi in chand khushiyoon ko,
Kisi ki nazar na lag jaye,
Qke mere badnasibiyoon ke sayoon ke hosaley,
Bahut buland hai,
Aur mai tera ek kamzoor banda,
Mujhe toh aadat ho chali hai,
Patange ki tarah shama ki chahat mai,
Khud ko jalane ki,
Ab toh bas dekhna ye hai ke kya abke,
Shama bujhegi,
Apne patange ko rijhane ko,
Aur uski jaan bachane ke liye...
