kisi ki dhal gai kaisi jawani dekhte jao
jo thin begam wo hain bachchon ki nani dekhte jao

tangi hai jo mere hanger-numa kandhon pe maili si
meri shadi ki hai ye sherwani dekhte jao

dikha ke daswen nau-maulud ko mujh se wo ye bolin
mohabbat ki hai ye taza nishani dekhte jao

kiya begam ne nafiz ghar mein dastur-e-zaban-bandi
mere ghar aao meri be-zabani dekhte jao

main pachpan ka hun wo pandrah baras se tis ke hi hain
jawani un ki meri na-tawani dekhte jao

khade hain samne aaine ke aur muskuraate hain
jawani ho gai kaisi diwani dekhte jao

bujha sakta na tha jo tishnagi sahra ki wo baadal
haya se ho gaya hai pani pani dekhte jao

bahut majbur hota hai to insan khun pita hai
garan hai kis qadar pine ka pani dekhte jao

hamara khun ik-na-ik din la kar rahega rang
tumhein mahngi padegi zindagani dekhte jao

lahu par be-gunahon ke rakhi hon jis ki buniyaaden
nahin chalne ki aisi hukmarani dekhte jao

haya aur sharm uthti ja rahi hai is zamane se
na jaane kab mere aankhon ka pani dekhte jao

jawani 'khwah-makhwah' ke dil ki kuchh to gul khilaegi
hasinon se chali hai chhed-khani dekhte jao
