aao hum raqs-kunan shahr-e-tilismat mein jazbaat ke rangon
se zamane ki nigahen bhar den

aao hum raqs karen
hum wo kirdar hain jo

kai sadiyon ka safar kat ke aae hain yahan
sabz jhilon pe ayan aks hamare hi to hain

aao khwabon ko kisi lai mein pirote hain ghazal kahte hain
jis mein hon dard sabhi

hum hain gum-gashta sadaon ke khazine jo kabhi
in fazaon mein hue dafn jahan

dewtaon ne kai hijr ke tufan phunke
hum ne gumnam zamanon ki hain faslen odhin

hum ne kohsaron pe naghmat bikhere hain kai
hum parindon ki zaban jaante the

hum mohabbat ki azan dete the
hum ne taron ko ziya-bar kiya

kya tumhein yaad hai hum ne bhi kabhi wasl piya
waqt ne pyas utari hum par

dasht-dar-dasht sulagti hui aahon ko mujassam kar ke
hum ne hamwar kiye the raste

hum bhi taqsim hue lahjon mein
dastanon mein sarakte hoi lafzon mein hamari ruhen

gunjte gunjte anjam talak aa pahunchen
hath se hath milao ab to

sans se sans jalao ab to
kyun gurezan ho qarib aane se

aao ab raqs-kunan ishq ki takmil karen
