Hazaron manzilein aisi hazaron khawishein aise
Ki na haasil toh dum nikle, jo mil jaye toh dum nikle
Har ek din tay kiya ki ub tere dar par na jayenge
Muqaddar yun ki hur ek raah par tera dar sanam nikle

Nigahon se behakne ke zamane lout ayenge
Magar yeh shart hain ki, benaqaab hokar sanam nikle

Umeedo ke chaman mein aaj ek tara naya aaya
Tamanna hain ki chandani bankar sanam nikle

Jalaya khoob hain maine, nashe mann ko mohabatt mein
Kabhi toh yun bhi ho ki, khud shama bankar sanam nikle

Kisi dariya dili mein usne, nazar bhar ke dekha hain
Mumkin hain meri umeed se badhkar sanam nikle

Mujhe yeh char lamho ki kareebi manzoor nahi taqdeer
Kuch aisa kar ki yeh rishtey, umar bankar sanam nikle

Jo sagar sa nigahon mein utar aaya hain rehne do
mumkin hain ki yun dil ke samandar se sanam nikle
