ek na ek shamma andhere mein jalaye rakhiye
subaH hone ko hai maahOl banaaye rakhiye
jinke haathoN se hume zakm-e-neha pahunchi hai
wo bhee kehte hain ke zakhmoN ko chupaaye rakhiye
kaun jaane ke wo kis raah-guzar se guzre
har guzar raah ko phooloN se sajaaye rakhiye
daaman-e-yaar ki zeenat na bane har ansoo
apni palkon ke liye kuch to bachaaye rakhiye
