ab ishq se lau lagaenge hum
ab dil ke bhi kaam aaenge hum

jab jhutputa hoga sham-e-gham ka
palkon pe diye jalaenge hum

hum ban gae hain ada tumhaari
chhedoge to ruth jaenge hum

ai munis-e-dil ai hijr ki raat
le chal diye ab na aaenge hum

kya baithe-bithae ho gaya hai
puchhenge to kya bataenge hum

wo aankh badi jahan-numa hai
us aankh se kya chhupaenge hum

sahra to 'zahir' tang nikla
ab dekhen kidhar ko jaenge hum
