Har ujala nayi seher to nahi

Raat ki umr raat bhar to nahi

Aadmi chand gaam barh na sakey

Zindagi itni mukhtasar to nahi

Ik ujala sa saath rehta hai

Sochta hun teri nazar to nahi

Aik hungama hai bayaabaan mai

Koi amaadah safar to nahi

Waqt beshak azeem hai lekin

Mujhse tujhse azeemtar to nahi

Door kuch saaye se hain sehra mai

Raah gam kardah humsafar to nahi

Har khandar par gumaa guzarta hai

Meri yaadon ka ye nagar to nahi

Aap jo bhi kahen woh sach ajmal

Aap ab itney moatbar to nahi
