aao ki jashn-e-marg-e-muhabbat manaaye hum

aatii nahii kahii se dil-e-zindaa kii sadaa
suune pade hai kuuchaa-o-baazaar ishq ke
hai shuma-e-anjuman kaa nayaa husn-e-jaa gudaaz
shaayad nahii rahe vo patango ke valvale
taazaa na rakh sakegii rivaayaat-e-dasht-o-dar
vo fitnaasar gaye jinhe kaate aziiz the

ab kuchh nahii to niind se aakhe jalaaye hum
aao ki jashn-e-marg-e-muhabbat manaaye hum

sochaa na thaa ki aayegaa ye din bhii phir kabhii
ik baar hum mile hai zaraa muskuraa to le
kyaa jaane ab na ulfat-e-deriinaa yaad aaye
is husn-e-iKhtiyaar pe aakhe jhukaa to le
barasaa labo se phuul terii umr ho daraaz
sanbhale hue to hai. par zaraa Dagamagaa to le

Tumhaare lahaje me jo garmii-o-halaavat hai

vo lamhe jaake jo vaapas kabhii nahii aate
