Ek umeed si hai, jaane kahan hai
Agar zinda hon wohi ek waje hai
Dalte howe is sooraj main
ek chand ki kiran ban kr aati hai
Is tuloo e aftab main
parindo ka gun ban kr aati hai
In guzarte howe dino main
Ek naya mosam ban kr aati hai
Teri yaad ki us aziat mian
tumien cho kr wo aati hai
Hazaar pal boola hon use
aziat deney samney aa jati hia
Ek umeed si hai, janey kahan hai
kya roop dhare, jane kon hai
