jazba-e-shauq mera kuchh to badhate jate
chand baaten hi dilase ki sunate jate

taqwiyat kuchh to mohabbat ko meri mil jati
kuchh to chahat-bhara andaz dikhate jate

main bhi honton pe yahan pyas liye baitha hun
koi paimana mohabbat ka badhate jate

lazzat-e-ishq ka ehsas tumhein bhi hota
karb-e-tanhai mein jab ashk bahate jate

gham ki tariki se chhutkare ki surat banti
shadmani ka diya dil mein jalate jate

main akela hi nahin aur bhi hain meri tarah
us ke kuche mein nazar aaenge aate-jate

bach gae ishq ke aazar se 'ajmal' warna
tum lahu dil ka shab-e-wasl jalate jate
