'Ye dil udaas hai bahut koi paighaam hi likh do,
tum apna naam na likho chalo gumnaam hi likh do,

Meri kismat me gham-e-tanhai hai lekin,
tamam umr na likho magar ek shaam hi likh do,

Ye janta hoon ke umr bhar tanha mujhko rehna hai,
magar pal do pal, ghari do ghari mera naam hi likh do,

Chalo hum maan lete hain saza ke mustahiq thehre,
koi inaam na likho, koi ilzaam hi likh do,'
