Shama kehti hai muje banaya kisne,
jis jis ke hath lagi muje jalaya usne,
wo shama kya jise koi jalane wala na ho,
wo insan hi kya jise koi chahne wala na ho…

Unhone dekha aur aansu gir pade,
bhari basant mein jaise phul bikhar pade,
dukh vo nahi ki unhone hamein alvida kaha,
dukh toh yeh hai ki uske baad woh khud bhi ro pade.

Khuda se thoda raham khareed lete,
Aap ke zakhmo ka marham khareed lete.
Agar kahi bikti khushiya meri,
To saari bech kar aap ka har ghum khareed lete.

Judai aapki rulati rahegi,
yaad aapki aati rehegi.
Pal-pal jan jati rahegi,
jab tak jism mein hai jaan
har saans dosti nibhati rahegi.

Khamosh se rehne lage ho,
intezar kisika karne lage ho,
yakinan kisise hui hai mohabbat,
tabhi bina baat muskurane lage ho…
