koi to dil ki nigahon se dekhta jae

koī to dil kī nigāhoñ se dekhtā jaa.e

hamārī ruuh ke kuchh ġham sameTtā jaa.e

tumhāre milne kī har aas aaj TuuT ga.ī

tumhīñ batāo ki ab kis tarah jiyā jaa.e

zarā to sochiye us dil kā haal kyā hogā

talāsh-e-gul meñ jo patthar kī choT khā jaa.e

sajā ke tum ko guloñ se uThā.e haiñ patthar

zamāna kitnā sitamgar hai kyā kiyā jaa.e

kareñge kaise haqīqat kā sāmnā ham log

hameñ to ḳhvāb hī koī dikhā diyā jaa.e

kisī tarah to añdhere ġhamoñ ke chhaT jaa.eñ

mirā bujhā huā dil hī koī jalā jaa.e

rah-e-hayāt meñ kāñTe bichheñ ki phuul khileñ

ye shart hai tirī jānib vo rāsta jaa.e

koi to dil ki nigahon se dekhta jae

hamari ruh ke kuchh gham sameTta jae

tumhaare milne ki har aas aaj TuT gai

tumhin batao ki ab kis tarah jiya jae

zara to sochiye us dil ka haal kya hoga

talash-e-gul mein jo patthar ki choT kha jae

saja ke tum ko gulon se uThae hain patthar

zamana kitna sitamgar hai kya kiya jae

karenge kaise haqiqat ka samna hum log

hamein to KHwab hi koi dikha diya jae

kisi tarah to andhere ghamon ke chhaT jaen

mera bujha hua dil hi koi jala jae

rah-e-hayat mein kanTe bichhen ki phul khilen

ye shart hai teri jaanib wo rasta jae
