aaraish khayal bhi ho dil kusha bhi ho

wo dard ab kahan jisey jee chahta bhi ho

aaraish khayal bhi ho dil kusha bhi ho

wo dard ab kahan jise jee chahta bhi ho

ye kya ke roz ek sa gham ek see ummeed

es ranj by khumar ki ab inteha bhi ho

ye kya ke ek toor se guzrey tamam umr

jee chahta hai ab koi tere siwa bhi ho

tootey kabhi tou khwab shab o roz ka tilism

itney hujoom mein koi chehra naya bhi ho

deewangi e shoq ko ye dhun hai en dino

ghar bhi ho aur be dar o deewar sa bhi ho

juzw dil koi makan nahi deher mein jahan

rahzan ka khof bhi na rahe dar khula bhi ho

har zarra ek mohmal ibrat hai dasht ka

lekin kisey dikhaon koi dekhta bhi ho

har shae pularti hai pas parda e sukoot

lekin kisey sunaon koi ham nawa bhi ho

fursat mein sun shaguftagi e ghuncha ki sada

ye wo sukhan nahi jo kisi ney kahan bhi ho

betha hai ek shakhs merey pas der sey

koi bhala sa ho tou hame dekhta bhi ho

bazm e sukhan bhi ho sukhan garm key ley

taaoos bolta ho tou jangle hara bhi ho
