Yeon hi umeed dilatay hain zamanay waley
Kab palat'tay hain bhala chor ke janay waley,
Kabhi dekh jhulastay huay sehra main darakht
Kaisay jaltay hain wafaa'on ko nibhanay waley,
In sey aati hai tere lamas ki khushboo ab bhi
Khat nikalay huay bhaitha hoon puranay waley,
Aa kabhi dekh zra inki shabon main aakar
Kitna rotay hain zamany ko hansanay waley,
Kuch to aankhon ki zabani bhi kahe jatay hain
Munh sey hotay nahi sab raaz batanay waley,
Aaj baizaar hai sitara, hai na Jugnoo koi
Raab'tey khatam huay saray un se milanay waley
