kitne aish se rahte honge kitne itraate honge
jaane kaise log vo honge jo us ko bhaate honge

shaam hue khush-baash yahan ke mere paas aa jaate hain
mere bujhne ka nazzara karne aa jaate honge

vo jo na aane waala hai na us se mujh ko matlab tha
aane waalon se kya matlab aate hain aate honge

us ki yaad ki baad-e-saba mein aur to kya hota hoga
yoonhi mere baal hain bikhre aur bikhar jaate honge

yaaro kuchh to zikr karo tum us ki qayamat baanhon ka
vo jo simtate honge un mein vo to mar jaate honge

mera saans ukhadte hi sab bein karenge roenge
ya'ni mere ba'ad bhi ya'ni saans liye jaate honge
