palat ke milne ka wada kare to ruk jaun
zara si teri mohabbat mile to ruk jaun

khayal-o-khwab ki duniya se tum nikal aao
haqiqaton ka koi dar khule to ruk jaun

ajab safar hai ki saman-e-dil-lagi bhi nahin
tere badan ki hararat mile to ruk jaun

tere siwa nahin koi bhi chaarasaz mera
fasana-e-gham-e-dil tu sune to ruk jaun

main nafraton ke andhere mein hun qayam-pazir
tumhaare pyar ka suraj uge to ruk jaun

har ek samt hai 'ajmal' adawaton ka saman
wafa khulus ka dariya bahe to ruk jaun
