jab sal-e-rawan dhum machata hua aa jae
aansu se munawwar yahan har gosha nazar aae

aamad pe nae sal ki jab kahkashan bujh jae
aise mein har aahat pe ye lagta hai ki tum aae

sumbul ki lachakti hui zulfon se kare chhed
jhonka koi aamada shararat pe nazar aae

ya baad-e-saba phul ke rukhsaron ko chhu jae
aise mein har aahat pe ye lagta hai ki tum aae

mahtab ka chehra kisi chilman ki liye ot
raushan kabhi maddham kabhi jab khel mein lag jae

jab nila gagan aarti taron se saja lae
aise mein har aahat pe ye lagta hai ki tum aae

sahil ke labon ko kabhi chhune ke liye aae
chanchal si koi lahr jo aaghosh mein kho jae

sanson ki hararat agar sanson mein sama jae
aise mein har aahat pe ye lagta hai ki tum aae

jab chand ki jaanib kare parwaz chakori
ya koi papiha pihu-pihu kahin chillae

jab chandni lahron pe kabhi dip jala jae
aise mein har aahat pe ye lagta hai ki tum aae

tanhai mein yaaden kabhi jab dhundhti aaen
wo shamen jo ab palken bhigoti hui jaen

baraat gae lamhon ki jab raat mein aa jae
aise mein har aahat pe ye lagta hai ki tum aae
