mohabbat ki karishma-saziyan aawaz deti hain
teri yaadon ki alhad shokhiyan aawaz deti hain

musafir lautna chaho to lamhon mein palat jao
tumhein sahil pe thahri kashtiyan aawaz deti hain

zara si der mein mausam badalne ka zamana hai
hawa ke bazuon ki chudiyan aawaz deti hain

khizan ke khauf se sahme parindo laut bhi aao
tumhein phir lahlahati tahniyan aawaz deti hain

chale jate hain hum apna lahu indhan banane ko
dhuan deti hui jab chimniyan aawaz deti hain

main jab bhi shab ke daman par koi suraj ugata hun
teri sochon ki gahri badliyan aawaz deti hain

zara si der ko kuchh shadman lamhe ata kar do
zara sunna ghamon ki talkhiyan aawaz deti hain

'shafiq' ahbab aksar yaad aate hain hamein ab bhi
hawa ke sath bajti taliyan aawaz deti hain
