ajab khumar teri yaad ki sharab mein hai
ki ye qarar bhi ab hadd-e-iztirab mein hai

bigadti banti hai shab bhar wo dida-o-dil mein
jo ek shakl dil-o-dida-e-kharab mein hai

wo abr tha ki nikal hi nahin saki thi wo kal
jo dhup phaili hui aaj mere khwab mein hai

bacha ke rakhta hai har jam-o-kharch se mujh ko
wo ek dast-e-dua jo mere hisab mein hai

kise bataen mohabbat hai jo hai pesh-e-nazar
kise dikhaen jo wahshat abhi hijab mein hai

kise bataiye wo baat jo hui bhi nahin
kise dikhaiye wo lahr jo sarab mein hai
