raat ki kokh se
subh ki ek nannhi kiran ne janam yun liya

shab ne nannhi shafaq ki gulabi hasin mutthiyan khol kar
kuchh lakiren padhin

aur saba se na malum chupke se kya kah diya
yun ki shabnam ki aankhon se aansu bahe

ek sitara hansa
chandni muskuraati hui chal padi

aur naqahat se pahlu badalte hue
chaunk kar meri man ne bade shauq se

kuchh ishaara kiya
aahaton aur sargoshiyon mein kisi ne kaha

aah ladki hai ye
itni afsurda aawaz mere khuda

meri pahli samaat pe likkhi gai
meri pahli hi sanson mein ghola gaya

in shikasta se lahjon ka zahrila-pan
aah ladki hai

ladki hai
ladki hai ye

is ki qismat ki mango dua
ab bhi meri samaat pe likkhi hai wo

mere purkhon ki pahli dua
