Bas apnay dukhon ki dawa chahta hun

Main is ke siwa aur kya chahta hun

Bahut sun chukka hoon tira rona dhona

Fasana ko’i ab nya chahta hun

Miray dil se uth kar naa jaao khuda ra

Main itna hi un se kaha chahta hun

Falak walo meri yeh himmat bhi dekho

Khataaon se badh kar saza chahta hun

Sabab yeh bhi hai meri naakamyion ka

Main har be-wafa se wafa chahta hun

Kanwal kuch dinon se woh kyun poochtay hain

Main kya chahta hun, main kya chahta hun.
