Bujhe ho, hath mayusi lagi hai kya

bujhe ho, hath mayusi lagi hai kya
dar-e-ulfat pe ab kunDi lagi hai kya

abhi bhi tujh dar-e-dil par bata jaanan
hamare nam ki taKHti lagi hai kya

samundar baukhalaya phir raha hai kyun
kinare phir koi kashti lagi hai kya

hamin tum se hamesha milne aaen kyun
tumhaare panw mein mehndi lagi hai kya

kaTe hain par to kaTne do miyan socho
iradon par koi qainchi lagi hai kya

jahan kal ishq par charcha hua ghanTon
wahin ab husn ki manDi lagi hai kya

hain aankhen surKH lab zaKHmi ana ghayal
tere kirdar ki boli lagi hai kya

teri galiyon se jo guzra use jaanan
bhala duniya kabhi achchhi lagi hai kya

yaqinan aaj be-parda wo nikle hain
wagarna chandni phiki lagi hai kya

na duniya hai na uljhan hai sukun hai bas
Thikane ab meri miTTi lagi hai kya

kitaben ghar mere suraj si raushan hain
tere kamre mein ye batti lagi hai kya

zaban se aah kya uf tak nahin nikli
to ab ke choT kuchh gahri lagi hai kya

miTa loge jihaalat ko 'sikandar' tum
tumhein bhi ye nai dhunki lagi hai kya
