Ghar Ki Deewarein Mere Jane Par
Apni Tanhaiyon Ko Sochein Gi

Ungliyon Ko Tarash Don Phir Bhi
Aadtein Uska Naam Likhein Gi

Rang-O-Bu Se Kahin Panah Nahi
Khwahishein Bhi Kahan Aman Dengi

Aik Khushbu Se Bach Bhi Jaon Ager
Doosri Nikhatein Jakar Leingi

Khirkhiyon Par Dabeiz Parde Hon
Barishein Phir Bhi Dastakein Deingi
