ghadi bhar muskurao muskurao
haqiqat bhul jao bhul jao

nazar par kaundhti jati hai khushiyan
ghamon ki lau jalao lau jalao

bhatak kar aa gaya tha khwab koi
ise phir dhund lao dhund lao

zara si chot se hota hun ghayal
jo chaho aazmao aazmao

zehn ke mulk mein sukha pada hai
kabhi to yaad aao yaad aao

badi hi na-tawan dhadkan hai meri
ise yun mat bhagao mat bhagao

abhi to raat ne karwat badal di
'alakh' tum aur gao aur gao
