Lakh pardon mein go nihan hum the

lakh pardon mein go nihan hum the
phir bhi har chiz se ayan hum the

ek aalam ke tarjuman hum the
un ke aage hi be-zaban hum the

hum hi hum the wahan jahan hum the
aap aae to phir kahan hum the

har rag-o-pai mein barq raqsan thi
hae wo waqt jab jawan hum the

aaj to KHair se hain arsh-maqam
kal zamin par bhi aasman hum the

gham ke maron ko naz tha hum par
jazba-e-gham ke tarjuman hum the

har qadam pe thi samne manzil
su-e-manzil rawan-dawan hum the

zindagi bhar jo lab pe aa na saki
dard-o-gham ki wo dastan hum the

doston ka to zikr kya 'atish'
dushmanon par bhi mehrban hum the
