jagta hun to sitare meri aankhon mein utar jate hain
nind aati hai to mahtab sa chehra tera

aaina mujh ko dikhata hai kai chehron ka
dekhte dekhte KHwabon mein kai KHwab bikhar jate hain

waqt ki galiyon mein aawara liye phirta hai ehsas-e-jamal
main safine ki tarah dekhta rahta hun tujhe

chandni mera kafan teri qaba banti hai
mauj-e-ehsas mein ruhon ka safar jari hai

hum jo zinda the jo zinda hain na zinda honge
ek lamha kisi ranai ka paikar tha kabhi

mere KHwabon ka lahu mujh se liye jata hai
ek lamhe ne tarasha hai mujhe jam ki surat tujh ko

sar-e-bazar dikhaya hai ki tu mina-ba-dosh
aaina-KHane mein nilam ki taswir dikhai di hai

raqs lamhon ka wahi fann-e-KHaridari hai
aaj sarma-e-aflas wo fan ki qasam khate rahe hain barson

gardish-e-jam mein kyun jam sar-e-sham samajhte hain mujhe
kyun tere jism ke patthar ko samajhte hain ki tu mina-ba-dosh

in ki aaghosh mein chup-chap chali jaegi
hum to ruhen hain jinhen chand kafan-doz kiye jata hai

hum sar-e-dast jo patthar bhi hain shahkar bhi hain
TuT jate hain bikhar jate hain mar jate hain

kis liye hasrat-e-be-dad ko sine se lagaya tha kabhi
