kitna sada shabab lagti ho
ek taza gulab lagti ho

aap husn-o-jamal ki surat
ek shair ka khwab lagti ho

aasman ke sabhi sitaron mein
ek tumhin aaftab lagti ho

kyun nasha ban ke chadh gain mujh par
han purani sharab lagti ho

zulf uljhi hui hai sawan si
barsa barsa shabab lagti ho

jis pe har bar main atakta hun
wo sawal ai hisab lagti ho

chand chhupta hai tum se sharma kar
kitni tum la-jawab lagti ho

ek muddat dabi dabi rah kar
aaj tum inqalab lagti ho

mujh ko dekha jo sath ghairon ke
tum to jal kar kabab lagti ho

ab khayalon mein bhi nahin ho tum
ek mukammal azab lagti ho

tum ne 'zuhaib' ko jo thukraya
khud bhi khana-kharab lagti ho
