udas dil ko mohabbat ka aasra degi
wo mujh ko chhu ke mera hausla badha degi

zara si baat sahi us ka dekhna lekin
zara si baat meri nind hi uda degi

wo dam darud ki aadi hai aur mujhe shak hai
wo apna pyar mujhe ghol kar pila degi

tum us ki raushni takne mein gum na ho jaana
wo ek lau hai tumhein aag bhi laga degi

sabhi alarm ghadi ke fuzul jaenge
kisi ke panw ki aahat mujhe jaga degi

tu mere samne chup rahna aur dil ki baat
tumhaare chehre ki rangat mujhe bata degi

kisi ke pyar ki mehndi laga le hathon par
mahak na degi magar rang to chadha degi

main jaanta hun wo sadyal mizaj hai 'tahsin'
magar wo meri ghazal sun ke muskura degi
