kal ek tu hogi aur ek main
koi raqib-e-rafiq-surat

koi rafiq-e-raqib-saman
mere tere darmiyan na hoga

hamari umr-e-rawan ki shabnam
teri siyah kakulon ki raaton

mein tar chandi ke gundh degi
tere hasin aarizon ke rangin

gulab bele ke phul honge
shafaq ka har rang gharq hoga

latif o pur-kaif chandni mein
teri kitab-e-rukh-e-jawan par

ki jo ghazal ki kitab hai ab
zamana likkhega ek kahani

aur an-ginat jhurriyon ke andar
meri mohabbat ke sare bose

hazar lab ban ke hans padenge
hum apni biti hui shabon ki

saloni parchhaiyon ko le kar
hum apne ahd-e-tarab ki sham o

sahar ki ranaiyon ko le kar
purani yaadon ke jism-e-uryan

ke waste pairahan bunenge
phir ek tu hogi aur ek main

koi raqib-e-rafiq-surat
ko rafiq-e-raqib-saman

mere tere darmiyan na hoga
hawas ki nazron ko tere rukh par

jamal-e-nau ka guman na hoga
faqat meri husn-e-azmuda

nazar ye tujh ko bata sakegi
ki teri piri ka husn tere

shabab se bhi hasin-tar hai
