Kitne aish se rehte hon ge kitne itraate hon ge..

Kitne aish se rehte hon ge kitne itraate hon ge,
Jaane kese log woh hon ge jo us ko bhaate hon ge,

Shaam huye khush-bash yahan ke mere paas aa jate hain,
Mere bujhne ka nazaara karne aa jate hon ge,

Woh jo na aanay wala hai na us se mujh ko matlab tha,
Aanay walon se kya matlab aatay hain aatay hon ge,

Us ki yaad ki baad-e-sabaa main aur to kya hota hoga,
Yunhi mere baal hain bikhre aur bikhar jaate hon ge,

Yaaro kuch to zikr karo us ki qayamat banhon ka,
Woh jo simat-te hon ge un main woh to mar jaate hon ge,

Mere saans ukharrte hi sab bain karen ge royen ge,
Yaani mere baad bhi yaani saans liye jaate hon ge..
