kali ghata mein chand ne chehra chhupa liya
phulon ki rut ne bagh se khema utha liya

ruthe hain wo to wasl ki rut khwab ho gai
hum ne judaiyon ko gale se laga liya

jashn-e-tarab ki raat badi khush-gawar thi
tere badan ki bas ko rut ne chura liya

ek gul-badan mili jo sarapa sipas thi
aaankhon ke raste use dil mein bitha liya

aisi nigah pyar ki yun 'taj' ko mili
dil ke nagar mein ek diya sa jala liya
