surkh sunahri sabz aur dhani hoti hai
jhil kinare sham suhani hoti hai

khud se jab bhi aankh milani hoti hai
aankh to jaise pani pani hoti hai

raqs kare aur aankh mein pani bhar aae
har ladki thodi diwani hoti hai

kitni bojhal hai khiffat ki gathri bhi
jo mujh ko har roz uthani hoti hai

wo kab bina batae wada tod gaya
aankhon se bhi aana-kani hoti hai

nani ke chehre ki lakiron ko bunti
bachpan ki har sham kahani hoti hai

kaise kah dun mujhe mohabbat hai tum se
tum se to har baat chhupani hoti hai

dil ke darwaze par aahat sunti hun
jabhi to aankhon mein hairani hoti hai

bhige bhige hont jahan hun shabnam ke
wahin kahin par raat ki rani hoti hai

roz nigahen sach kah deti hain sara
roz mujhe hi baat banani hoti hai

tum se mil kar 'sima'-naqwi khud apne
hone ki bhi yaad-dahani hoti hai
