hum jo ek bar tere rukh ki jhalak dekhte hain
der tak log phir aankhon ki chamak dekhte hain

ab khizaon ke tasallut mein hain sab dasht magar
aap ke sath bahaaron ki kumak dekhte hain

dub jate hain sab aawaz ki shirini mein
aur hum aap ke lahje ki khanak dekhte hain

aise lagta hai ki wo wasl pe aamada hain
jab rawayye mein kabhi un ke lachak dekhte hain

dekhna chahte hain achchhe khad-o-khal sabhi
kaun is dil mein jo hoti hai kasak dekhte hain

tum samajhte ho hamein dhun hai sitaron ki faqat
jab ki hum un se pare rang-e-falak dekhte hain

rok sakte to nahin aap ko hum 'zarghone'
han magar jate hue der talak dekhte hain
