Unme' talaash kiye' humne, Hazaar khwaishon ki junoon mein,

Unme' talash kiye' humne',
Zindagi ke' kuch haseen lamhe',
Sitam toh dekhiye' woh anjan bankar aaye' hain.

Unme' dhoondhi thi zindagi ki haqiqat humne',
Sitam toh dekhiye',
Woh khwab bankar aaye' hain.  



Hazaar khwaishon ki junoon mein,
Humne' saari umar guzaar di,
Aur ek badshahi mahal ki junoon ne',
Humein sirf ek ujre' mazaar di.

Inn hazaar khwaishon ne',
Meri saari zindagi haraam ki,
Magar iss ujre' mazaar ne',
Mujhe' beintaha araam di.
