Koi titli hamarey paas aati bhi, to kia aati,

Yun ghut-ghut k mar jana, hamain manzoor tha laikin,

Kisi kam-zarf per zahir na ki majbooriyan hum nay,

Hum is mehmil main bus ek baar sach bolay thay,

Zabaan per umer bhar mehsoos ki chingariyon ham nay,

Samajhtay thay magar phir bhi na rakhi dooriyan humne,

Chiraghoon ko jalanay main jala ‘ li ungliyan hum nay…
