baad muddat unhe.n dekh kar yuu.N lagaa
jaise betaab dil ko qaraar aa gaya
aarazuuo.n ke gul muskuraane lage
jaise gul_shan me.n jaan-e-bahaar aa gayaa
tashnaa nazare.n milii.n shoKh nazaro.n se jab
mai barasane lagii jaam bharane lagaa
saaqiiyaa aaj terii zaruurat nahii.n
bin piye bin pilaaye Khumaar aa gayaa
raat sone lagii subah hone lagii
shammaa bujhane lagii dil machalane lage
vaqt kii raushanii me.n nahaa_ii hu_ii
zindagii pe ajab saa nikhaar aa gayaa
har taraf mastiyaa.N har taraf dil_kashii
muskuraate dilo.n me.n Khushii hii Khushii
kitanaa chaahaa magar phir bhii uTh na sakaa
terii mahafil me.n jo ek baar aa gayaa
