Rehmat khuda kar zara ik dafaDil dene ka keh zara falsafaYe naacheez ik cheez uski maange hai tujhseMusafir ye dehleez uski maange hai tujhse[Khudaaya tu bata: Kahaan uska pata?Pataa kar.Main uske bina be-pata hoonBe-pata be-pata be-pata hoon] (2)
Tezz kyu befiqr mann dhundhal ke melu aayeLamho ki iss bheed mein Mujhko pal de fursat keMadmast kambakht fiqrein dikhaye…Oh itraaye
Bas ik khayal uska dil ki fitrat badal deDil dene ka keh zara falsafaHai chaha usey shiddaton se yun toot kar keWoh kyun na mila muddaton se yun rooth kar ke
[Khudaaya tu bata: Kahaan uska pata?Pataa kar.Main uske bina be-pata hoonBe-pata be-pata be-pata hoon] (2)
