Raat sunti rahi mein sunata raha,
Dard ki daastaan mein batata raha,
Log logoon se chahat nibhatay rahay,
Ik wo tha mera dil jalata raha,
Dhoop chaoon si uski tabiyat rahi,
Wo nigahein milata raha churata raha,
Ik mein hi piyasa raha dosto,
Log peetay rahay mein pilata raha,
Dil k mehman khanay mein ronaq rahi,
Koi aata raha koi jata raha,
Hum-maktab ne sara sabak parh lia,
Mein tera naam likhta raha mitata raha
