hamara dil kuchh bahak raha hai
gulab jaisa mahak raha hai

tumhein kuchh apne qarib pa kar
hamara dil bhi dhadak raha hai

jo ek muddat pe tum mile ho
khushi se aansu chhalak raha hai

hamara dil bhi khushi se ab to
misal-e-bulbul chahak raha hai

tumhaari surat mein us ka naqsha
zara ‘shabahat’ jhalak raha hai
