Ajnabi shahar ke ajnabi raste,
Meri tanhai par muskurate rahe,
Mai bahot door tak yun hi chala raha,
Tum bahot der tak yaad aate rahe...
Kal kuch aisa hua mai bhot thak gay,
Isliye sun ke bhi ansuni kar gaya,
Kitni yaado ke bhatke huwe karwan,
Dil ke jakhmo ke dar khat kahtate rahe..
Jahar milta ra jahar pite rhe,
Roj marte rahe roj jeet rahe,
Jindagi bhi hume aajmati rahi,
Or hum bhi use aajmate rahe..
Sakht halat ke tej tufan me,
Ghir gaya tha humara junoon-e-wafa,
Hum charage tamanna jalate rahe,
Wo charage tamanna bujhate rahe..
