kahan ye chand raaton ka asar hai
zamane par zamanon ka asar hai

akele baith kar yun muskurana
ye hathon mein kitabon ka asar hai

mukammal ho raha hai ishq mera
iradon se wafaon ka asar hai

mohabbat gunjti rahti hai mujh mein
ye barson ki khalaon ka asar hai

sifat jitni bhi mujh ko hai ata wo
tumhaare sath baaton ka asar hai

jahan tak dekhti hun tum hi tum ho
tasawwur par sarabon ka asar hai

parindon se saba se khushbuon se
mutassir hun kharabon ka asar hai

achanak nim-shab wo yaad aae
numayan do sitaron ka asar hai

wasuq itna sawalon mein hamare
tumhaare kuchh jawabon ka asar hai
