Jo zindagi hai kabhi uskay khwab bhi likhna,
ye khwab bantay hain kaisay azaab bhi likhna,
Likho jo taj ko suraaj zameen ko sehra,
to ansuon ko humaray shahaab bhi likhna,
Jo dhoop chaon ki manzer kashi kabhi karna,
ye aftaab hai isko sahaab bhi likhna,
Beyaan karo kabhi kaamat jo us qayamat ki,
badaan hai shakh to chehra gulaab bhi likhna,
Ye aarzuein hain dil ki ya hasratoon ka mazaar,
jo dil pay guzri hai us par kitaab bhi likhna,
Mairay gunahon ko likhna hee bhul jana tum,
jo naikh armaan hain unkay sawaab bhi likhna,
ye khwab bantay hain kaisay azaab bhi likhna,
Likho jo taj ko suraaj zameen ko sehra,
to ansuon ko humaray shahaab bhi likhna,
Jo dhoop chaon ki manzer kashi kabhi karna,
ye aftaab hai isko sahaab bhi likhna,
Beyaan karo kabhi kaamat jo us qayamat ki,
badaan hai shakh to chehra gulaab bhi likhna,
Ye aarzuein hain dil ki ya hasratoon ka mazaar,
jo dil pay guzri hai us par kitaab bhi likhna,
Mairay gunahon ko likhna hee bhul jana tum,
jo naikh armaan hain unkay sawaab bhi likhna,
