Dil kehta hain is raat ki subha hi na ho,
Kal is shareen mein rooh hi na ho.
Mere liye kisi ki aankh mein aasu bhi na ho,
Aur bicharne ke tarap ka ehsaas hi bhi na ho.

Par dimag ki kashmakash hain kuch aur,
kehta hain jee le,
bas ek din aur.

Kal shayad woh din tera ho,
Shayad ho teri woh raat.
Shayad kismat teri bhi chamke,
Sach ho jaye koi woh baat.

Gulami ki bediyan na ho pao mein,
Na ho zimmedariyon ka bojh.
Nikal jaun apne hi talash par,
Kar paaun apne aatma ki khoj.

Par hara hua sharir ab larkharaya hain,
Subha aankh bhi khulne ko katraya hain.
Na jane jiwan ka yeah kaunsa mod aaya hain,
Ki aankh nahi dil bhar aaya hain.

Yeah dwandh shyad seh na paun aur,
Phir bhi ek awaz kehti hain,
bas ek din aur.
