saliqa hai mujhe taron se lau lagane ka
ki main charagh nahin dagh ke gharane ka

wo dekh barf ke phulon mein jagti hai sahar
yahi hai kya tera andaz muskurane ka

khulus shart hai pi lunga zahr bhi ai dost
to pahle sikh mujhe dhang aazmane ka

liya jo shakh-e-gul-e-tar ko jhuk ke banhon mein
wo ek bahana tha tujh ko gale lagane ka

chali jo yaad tumhaari alakh jagati hui
bhatak gaya koi jogi kisi thikane ka

udun to chum lun tujh ko ki ek jugnu hun
tu khwab hai kisi parbat ke shamiyane ka

meri lagan ka safina na dub jae kahin
tera wajud bhanwar hai kisi bahane ka

tere kalam tere jam tere nam se 'prem'
chamak raha hai sitara tere zamane ka
