wo mai-kada-e-husn pe umda hua baadal
barsat ki raaton mein wo bajta hua chhagal

rangin shabon mein wo teri chhed musalsal
har samt wo ruman ke bahte hue dhaare

kya ho gae rangin wo lamhat hamare
wo nur ka tufan uthati hui raaten

khwabida tamanna ko jagati hui raaten
wo kaif mein dubi hui gati hui raaten

wo charkh-e-mohabbat se baraste hue tare
kya ho gae rangin wo lamhat hamare

doharao phir afsana-e-aghaz-e-mohabbat
phir gardish-e-saghar se chhide saz-e-mohabbat

phir raaz na aapas mein rahe raaz-e-mohabbat
phir aao chalen sair ko dariya ke kinare

kya ho gae rangin wo lamhat hamare
har-gam pe wo barq giraate hue chalna

wo be-khud-o-madhosh banae hue chalna
wo sharm se aanchal ko dabaate hue chalna

chitwan se ayan husn ke masum ishaare
kya ho gae rangin wo lamhat hamare

phir sari faza raham ki basti nazar aae
har shai mein samai hui masti nazar aae

har samt mohabbat hi barasti nazar aae
kyon chhup gae nazron se wo mahbub nazzare

kya ho gae rangin wo lamhat hamare
