Likhey gey hain jab se barre martabey k log
kaghaz se gir gey hain kayi hashiye k log
utra hay ik noor sa chehra kuch is tara
pathar se hogey hain sabhi aayney k log
aab-e-hayat pee gya rahnuma magar
tashna bhatak rhe hain sabhi qafiley k log
ghaatey ne aik din usse tafreeq kr diya
jis ne kiye thay jama barre faidey k log
tu apne dairey se nikalta to daikhta
jo log hain barre,hain barre dayrey k log
hum ko namood-o-dolat-o-shohrat se kia gharz
hum log to hain aur kisi silsiley k log
kaar-e-paimbri hy sukhan jaante nhi
ye log hain radeef k, ye qafiye k log
kaghaz se gir gey hain kayi hashiye k log
