aahista-khirami sahi aa jae to behtar
aankhon mein koi mere sama jae to behtar

aawara-nigahi use kyon dhund rahi hai
jazba ye samajh mein meri aa jae to behtar

ye mera safina hai kahan ja ke lagega
bahta hua sahil koi aa jae to behtar

charcha hai bahut husn ka us shakhs ke lekin
wo ek jhalak apni dikha jae to behtar

qissa na abhi chhed saba lala-o-gul ka
wo jaan-e-bahaar aise mein aa jae to behtar
