ek na ek shamma andhere mein jalaye rakhiye
     subaH hone ko hai maahOl sajaaye 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
