kal chaudahaveen kee raat thee shab bhar raha charcha tira
kuchh ne kaha ye chaand hai kuchh ne kaha chehara tira
ik saal gaya ik saal naya hai aane ko
par vaqt ka ab bhee hosh nahin deevaane ko
kab lauta hai bahata paanee bichhada saajan rootha dost
ham ne us ko apana jaana jab tak haath mein daamaan tha
raat aa kar guzar bhee jaatee hai
ik hamaaree sahar nahin hotee
apanee zabaan se kuchh na kahenge chup hee rahenge aashiq log
tum se to itana ho sakata hai poochho haal bechaaron ka
vo raaten chaand ke saath gaeen vo baaten chaand ke saath gaeen
ab sukh ke sapane kya dekhen jab dukh ka sooraj sar par ho
insha-jee utho ab kooch karo is shahar mein jee ko lagaana kya
vahashee ko sukoon se kya matalab jogee ka nagar mein thikaana kya
ham bhool sake hain na tujhe bhool sakenge
too yaad rahega hamen haan yaad rahega
husn sab ko khuda nahin deta
har kisee kee nazar nahin hotee
dil hijr ke dard se bojhal hai ab aan milo to behatar ho
is baat se ham ko kya matalab ye kaise ho ye kyoonkar ho
