Dost ne peeth peeche baat ki, saamne gale lagaya,
Dushman dikhta hai — dost ka dhoka chhupta hai.

Aaine se baatein karta hoon, wohi sunta hai,
Khud se baat karke hi dil halka hota hai.

Subah ki chai mein, shaam ki hawa mein — har jagah teri kami hai,
Tum nahi ho to har pal aadha sa lagta hai.

Umeed kamzor thi, roshni chhoti ho gayi,
Maine apna behtareen diya, bas yahi tha.

Neend aati hai to khwab mein tum milte ho,
Subah aankh khulti hai to takiya geela milta hai.
