puuchhate ho to suno kaise basar hotii hai 
raat Khairaat kii sadqe kii sahar hotii hai 

saa.Ns bharane ko to jiinaa nahii.n kahate yaa rab 
dil hii dukhataa hai na ab aasteen tar hotii hai 

jaise jaagii hu_ii aa.Nkho.n me.n chubhe.n kaa.Nch ke Khvaab 
raat is tarah diivaano.n kii basar hotii hai 

Gam hii dushman hai meraa Gam hii ko dil Dhuu.NDhataa hai 
ek lamhe kii judaa_ii bhii agar hotii hai 

ek markaz kii talaash ek bhaTakatii Khushbuu 
kabhii ma.nzil kabhii tamhiid-e-safar hotii hai
