chand bhi nikla sitare bhi barabar nikle

phir wahi raat phir wahi aawaz

pata ab tak nahin badla hamara

malal-e-dil se ilaj-e-gham-e-zamana kiya

baras kar khul gaya abr-e-KHizan aahista aahista

kaise unhen bhulaun mohabbat jinhon ne ki

ab na bahal sakega dil ab na diye jalaiye

chhaT gaya abr shafaq khul gai tare nikle

bhule-bisre mausamon ke darmiyan rahta hun main

dil mein wo shor na aankhon mein wo nam rahta hai

ab wo galiyan wo makan yaad nahin

kis raqs-e-jaan-o-tan mein mera dil nahin raha

munh andhere jaga ke chhoD gai

hamein sab ahl-e-hawas na-pasand rakhte hain

ishq mein kaun bata sakta hai
