shoala sa pech-o-tab mein dekha

kyun gham-e-raftagan kare koi

pal pal kanTa sa chubhta tha

tere milne ko bekal ho gae hain

yaad aata hai roz o shab koi

KHayal-e-tark-e-tamanna na kar sake tu bhi

musalsal bekali dil ko rahi hai

ye raat tumhaari hai chamakte raho taro

raunaqen thin jahan mein kya kya kuchh

dafatan dil mein kisi yaad ne li angDai

tere KHayal se lo de uThi hai tanhai

ye bhi kya sham-e-mulaqat aai

awwalin chand ne kya baat sujhai mujhko

ye shab ye KHayal-o-KHwab tere

bane-banae hue raston pe ja nikle
