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.

Dhoka kha kar bhi maine dhoka nahi diya,
Tumne apni qeemat khud girayi — meri wafa ab bhi wahi hai.

Sitare madham, chand peela ho gaya,
Mera dil tumhara purana alvida padhta hai.

Faasle badh gaye, raaste alag ho gaye,
Dil ab bhi wahi khada hai jahan tum chhod gaye.
