ek dafa us ko to yun bhi aazmana hai mujhe
aansuon ko aankh ka pani batana hai mujhe

jaan bahut itra raha hai ab to aaina mera
aao aaine ko aaina dikhana hai mujhe

khud mujhe to banna hai misra-e-ula sher mein
tum ko us ka misra-e-sani banana hai mujhe

rukh se zulfon ko hatate aao chhat pe raat ko
asl chehra chand ka sab ko dikhana hai mujhe

us ne bola chhod dun cigarette main ab to yani ki
honth se ab us ke honton ko lagana hai mujhe

ab ziyaada ho chuka hai rona-dhona hijr ka
ab to is ke baad ka manzar dikhana hai mujhe

kyon kahun mujh ko mohabbat ruh ki hai tum se jaan
aakhirash tum ko to banhon mein hi lana hai mujhe
