phir usi shokh ka khayal aaya
phir nazar mein wo khush-jamal aaya

phir tadapne laga dil-e-muztar
phir barasne laga hai dida-e-tar

yaad aain wo chandni raaten
wo hansi khel dil-lagi baaten

shab-e-tarik hai khamoshi hai
kal jahan mahw-e-aish-koshi hai

lutf sajdon mein aa raha hai mujhe
chhup ke koi bula raha hai mujhe

chudiyan baj rahi hain hathon ki
aai aawaz us ki baaton ki

ud raha hai ghubar-e-nur-e-badan
phailti ja rahi hai bu-e-dahan

mauj-e-tasnim o kaif-e-khuld-e-barin
jagmagata badan chamakti jabin

apne aanchal mein munh chhupae hue
aa raha hai qadam badhae hue

naghme pazeb ke sunate hue
bakht-e-khufta mere jagate hue

ishwa-o-naz ka fusun le kar
sath ek lashkar-e-junun le kar

dur se muskuraata aata hai
bijliyan si giraata aata hai

wo ki rangin kiran tabassum ki
ek musalsal ladi tarannum ki

parda-e-tan mein rag poshida
rag wo jis mein aag poshida

bansuri si bajae jata hai
aag tan mein lagae jata hai

ek duniya-e-rang-o-bu ban kar
khun-shuda dil ki aarzu ban kar

nai dulhan ki tharthari ban kar
us ke honton ki kapkapi ban kar

mere dil mein sama gaya koi
meri hasti pe chha gaya koi
