aao husn-e-yar ki baaten karen
zulf ki rukhsar ki baaten karen

zulf-e-ambar-bar ke qisse sunaen
turra-e-tarrar ki baaten karen

phul barsaen bisat aish par
rose wasl yar ki baaten karen

naqd-e-jaan le kar chalen us bazm mein
misr ke bazar ki baaten karen

un ke kuche mein jo guzri hai kahin
saya-e-diwar ki baaten karen

aakhiri saat shab-e-rukhsat ki hai
aao ab to pyar ki baaten karen
