dil mein ek tis uthi aankh mein aansu jage
sham hote hi teri yaad ke jugnu jage

aur ho jaegi baghon ki faza itr-afshan
tu agar aae to sahraon mein khushbu jage

khul agar jaen siyah-mast ghanere gesu
sare mahaul mein bangal ka jadu jage

meri tanhai mein shahnai hui hai shamil
jab kahin dur kisi panw mein ghunghru jage

lut kar nind meri chain se sone wale
kash wo aae ghadi meri tarah tu jage

ho gaya bakht-e-surayya meri qismat pe nisar
mere shanon pe tere surmai gesu jage

subh-dam bagh mein khilti hai kali yun 'talib'
ek hasin khwab se jaise koi mah-ru jage
