raat ka tarik-tar patthar jigar pani karen
hum bhala kis ke liye ye kar-e-la-sani karen

din to din raaton ko bhi ye apni man-mani karen
mamlikat par dil ki yaaden jaise sultani karen

bas gae hain aankh mein manzar pas-e-manzar sarab
hum kahan tak apne khwabon ki nigahbani karen

ek tilismi rang mein kho jaen jab chehre tamam
farz hai aankhon pe kya izhaar-e-hairani karen

ab to sare faisle hain sang-dil raaton ke hath
ye agar chahen to phir khwabon ki arzani karen

jab udas aankhen dilon se guftugu karne lagen
phir to lab bekar hi zikr-e-pashemani karen
