thoDi der ko ji bahla tha

gham hai ya KHushi hai tu

koi surat-ashna apna na begana koi

rah-naward-e-bayaban-e-gham sabr kar sabr kar

shahr sunsan hai kidhar jaen

na ab wo yaadon ka chaDhta dariya na fursaton ki udas barkha

teri majburiyan durust magar

dil to mera udas hai nasir

wo koi dost tha achchhe dinon ka

ye subh ki safediyan ye dopahar ki zardiyan
