Marhala raat ka jab aye ga..

Marhala raat ka jab aye ga,
Jism saaye ko taras jaye ga,

Chal parri rasm jo kaj-fehmi ki
Baat kya phir koi kar paye ga,

Sach se qatrate agar log yahan,
Lafz mafhoom se qatraye ga,

Aitbar us ka hamesha karna,
Woh to jhooti bhi qasam khaye ga,

Tu na hogi to phir ae sham-e-firaaq,
Kon aa kar humen behlaye ga,

Hum usay yaad bohat ayen ge,
Jab usay bhi koi thukraye ga,

Kainat us ki meri zaat main hai,
Mujh ko kho kar woh kise paye ga,

Na rahe jab woh bhale din bhi qateel,
Yeh zamana bhi guzar jaye ga..
