tum jo pal ko thehar jaao to yeh lamhay bhi
aane vaalay lamhoN ki amaanat ban jaaeyn
tum jo thehar jaao to yeh raat, mahtaab
yeh sabza, yeh gulaab, ham donoN kay khwaab
sab kay sab aisay mubham hon keh haqiqat ho jaaeyn
tum thehar jaao keh unvaan ki tafseer ho tum
tum say talkhi-e-auqaat ka mausam badlay
raat to kiya badlay gi, halaat to kiya badlain gay
tum jo thehar jaao to meri zaat ka mausam badlay
meharbaan ho kay na thehro to phir yuN thehro
jaisay pal bhar ko koi khuwaab-e-tamanna thehray
jaisay davaish-e-madaa-nosh kay piyaalay main kabhi
aik do pal kay liyay talkhi-e-dunya thehray
thehar jaao keh madaarat maikhaanay say
chaltay chaltay koi aik-aaadh subu ho jaaey
iss say pehlay keh koi lamha aainda ka teer
iss tarah aaey keh paivast-e-gulu ho jaaey
