sham dil ko bujhae jati hai
teri baaten sunae jati hai

ye udasi bhi khubsurat hai
mujh ko rangin banae jati hai

raat ki aankh se use dekho
kaise manzar dikhae jati hai

ek lamhe ki raushni mujh mein
ek duniya basae jati hai

kitni gambhir hai ye tariki
mere andar samae jati hai

hijr ki shab hamari jaanib kyun
dekh kar muskurae jati hai

zindagi bewafa sahi lekin
sath phir bhi nibhae jati hai

aap tabir jaante honge
chandni baukhlae jati hai

koi khushbu gurezan hai mujh se
koi aahat bulae jati hai

zindagi ladli si shahzadi
mera aanchal udae jati hai
