ek bar aur zara dekh idhar
apne jalwon ko bikhar jaane de

ruh mein meri utar jaane de
muskuraati hui nazron ka fusun

ye hasin lab ye darakhshanda jabin
abhi bebak nahin

aur aane de unhen meri nigahon ke qarin
dal phir meri jawan-khez tamannaon par

be-muhaba sa basi nazar
ek bar aur zara dekh idhar

han wahi ek nazar
ghair-fani si nazar

jis ki aaghosh mein raqsinda hai
abadi kaif ki duniya-e-jamil

jis mein tariki aalam nahin
kahish gardish-e-ayyam nahin

mahw ho jate hain jis se yaksar
yaad-e-mazi ki khalish

kawish-e-farda ka asar
han wahin ek nazar

ek bar aur zara dekh idhar
