andheri raat mein jab muskura uthte hain sayyare
tarannum phut padta hai mere saz-e-rag-e-jaan se

koi angdaiyan leta jab aa jata hai mahfil mein
tamanna karwaten leti hai paiham dukh-bhare dil mein

nigahen baada-e-rukh se khumar-amez hoti hain
sharabi ki tarah jab jhumti hain ishq ki nabzen

koi 'tagore' ke jab mithe mithe git gata hai
moallim goete ka falsafa jis dam sunata hai

tere ashaar padhta hun tere naghmat gata hun
kamal-e-kaif-o-fart-e-be-khudi mein jhum jata hun
