Kabhi raat bhar k jhagray kabhi chahaton ki baaten,
Wohi aap hi qisay wahi aap hi ki baaten..
Wo mila he mujhko aksar sar-e-raah chalte chalte,
Wohi ajnabi nigahen, wohi be'rukhi ki baaten..
Na samajh saka jahan mein koi mera dard,
Mere gham ko log samjhay, meri shairi ki baaten..
Koi humko ye bataye ye junoon nahi tou kya hai?
Milay jab bhi hum kisi se, karen aapki hi ki baaten..
Mere haal par wo youn hi kuch aesay muskuraye,
Main suna raha hoon jese kisi ajnabi ki baaten.
