mehrbaan ham pe har ik raat hua karti thii aankh lagte hi mulaqaat hua karti thii hijr ki raat hai aur aankh men aansoo bhi nahin aise mausam men to barsaat hua karti thii

ab uski shaa dii ka qissa na chhedo bas itnaa kah do kaisi lag rahi thii

ye shahar-e-ajnabi men ab kise ja kar bataayen ham kahaan ke rahne waale hain kahaan ki yaad aati hai

sair kar duniya ki ghaafil zindagaani phir kahaan zindagi gar kuchh rahi to ye jawaani phir kahaan

bas ye diqqat hai bhulaane men use uske badle men kis ko yaad karen

ab kise hai dimaagh-e-tohmat-e-ishq kaun sunta hai baat phoolon kii

raat bhar dard ki shama' jaltee rahi gham ki lau thartharati rahi raat bhar

ham ne hañs hañs ke teri bazm men ai paikar-e-naaz kitnii aahon ko chhupaaya hai tujhe kya maaloom
