qarib bhi to nahin ho ki aa ke so jao
sitaron jao kahin aur ja ke so jao

thakan zaruri nahin raat bhi zaruri nahin
koi hasin bahana bana ke so jao

kahaniyan thi wo raaten kahaniyan the wo log
charagh gul karo aur bujh-bujha ke so jao

tariq-e-kar badalne se kuchh naya hoga
jo dur hai use nazdik la ke so jao

khasare jitne hue hain wo jagne se hue
so har taraf se sada hai ke ja ke so jao

ye kar-e-sher bhi ek kar-e-khair jaisa hai
ke taq taq jalo lau badha ke so jao

udas rahne ki aadat bahut buri hai tumhein
latife yaad karo hans-hansa ke so jao
