Abhi Kuchh Din Lagenge

Abhi kuchh din lagenge...

Dil aise shahar ke paamaal ho jaane ka manzar bhoolne mein,

Abhi kuchh din lagenge...

Jahaan-e-rang ke saare khas-o-khashaak sab sarw-o-sanobar bhoolne mein,

Abhi kuchh din lagenge...

Thake haare hue khwabon ke saahil par kahin ummid ka chhota sa ek ghar,

Bante bante rah gaya hai..

Wo ek ghar bhoolne mein,
Abhi kuchh din lagenge...

Magar ab din bhi kitne rah gaye hain,

Bas ek din dil ki lauh-e-muntazir par,
Aachanak,
Raat utregi,

Meri be-noor aankhon ke khazane mein,  Chhupe har khwab ki takmeel kar degi,

Mujhe bhi khwab mein tabdeel kar degi,

Ek aisa khwab jis ka dekhna mumkin nahin tha,

Ek aisa khwab jis ke daaman-e-sad-chaak mein koi mubarak koi raushan din nahin tha,

Abhi kuchh din lagenge.!!
