qatra-e-shabnam ko jalte aaftabon mein na rakh
ek hi jaan hai use itne azabon mein na rakh

aainon se dosti ki hai to apna aks dekh
apne chehre ko chhupa kar yun naqabon mein na rakh

meri aankhon ko bhi koi khubsurat khwab de
mujh ko har lamha basa kar apne khwabon mein na rakh

aisi baaton se hi wo rahta hai kuchh sahma hua
us ke aage apne honton ko gulabon mein na rakh

paniyon ke shahr mein har mauj ek sailab hai
dekh apni khwahishon ko in hababon mein na rakh

sirf lamhati nashon mein dard ki lazzat na dhund
is tarah madhosh apne ko sharabon mein na rakh
