phir apni zat ki tira-hadon se bahar aa

wahi harf hain wahi zarf hain wahi roz-o-shab hain sarab se

ajab KHwabon se mera rabta rakkha gaya

nikal gulab ki muTThi se aur KHushbu ban

makan soe hue the abhi ki dar jage

mujhe sham aai hai shahr mein

ek intihai ghair-jazbaati report

hum ki hero nahin

tum kaho to kahun

kahan rauzan banaen

sham pyari sham us par bhi koi dar khol de

koi kahani koi waqia suna to sahi

tujhe main ghaur se dekhun main tujhse pyar karun

be-tuki raushni mein parae andhere liye

nikal gulab ki muTThi se aur KHushbu ban
