dil mein phir aarzu ki tab khule
tere honton pe jab gulab khile

jab na tum aae sham hone tak
dard chehre pe be-hisab khule

mera chehra tha aks us ke the
aainon mein ajab sarab khule

teri taswir dekh li jab bhi
dil mein phir kitne pech-o-tab khule

jab wo aae hain samne 'talib'
hasraton ke kai gulab khile
