rang khushbu us ki baaten kya bataen
thin mehrban kaenaten kya bataen

bebasi aansu udasi dard-e-hijran
kis qadar hain siyah raaten kya bataen

puchhte hain wo badi sada-dili se
aap ko kaise bhulaen kya bataen

zindagi mein tajarbe kuchh kam nahin hain
masala hai kya chhupaen kya bataen

jaante hain haal hum ek dusre ka
puchhne khatir jo puchhen kya bataen

lams tere hain rawan sanson mein meri
sans lun wo yaad aaen kya bataen
