aaj dekha hai tujh ko der ke ba'd aaj ka din guzar na jaa.e kahii

vo nahin meraa magar us se mohabbat hai to hai ye agar rasmon rivaajon se baghaavat hai to hai

uljh karke teri agar men yuñ aabaad ho jaaun ki jaise lucknow ka main ameenabad ho jaaun main yamuna ki tarah tanhaa nihaaru taaj ko kab tak koi ganga mile to main ilahaabad ho jaaun

rootha tha main bahut dinon se maan gaya lekin kaan pakad kar jab vo boli soree-voree sab

maut ka ek din muayyan hai neend kyun raat bhar nahin aati

ab jo rishton men bandha hooñ to khula hai mujh par kab parind ud nahin paate hain paron ke hote

kal raat bahut gaur kiya hai so ham uski tay karke uthe hain ki tamannaa na karenge is baar vo talkhi hai ki roothe bhi nahin ham abke vo ladai hai ke jhagda na karenge

kaun sood-o-ziyaan kii duniya men dard gurbat ka saath deta hai jab muqaabil hon ishq aur daulat husn daulat ka saath deta hai

shab jo ham se hua muaaf karo nahin pee thii bahak ga.e honge

khoob hai ishq ka ye pehlu bhi main bhi barbad ho gaya tu bhi
