kuu-ba-kuu phail gai baat shanaasaai ki
us ne Khushbuu ki tarah meri paziraai ki
kaise kah duuN ki mujhe chhoD diyaa hai us ne
baat to sach hai magar baat hai rusvaai ki
vo kahin bhi gayaa lauTaa to mere paas aayaa
bas yahi baat hai achchhi mere harajaai ki
teraa pahalu tere dil ki tarah aabaad rahe
tujh pe guzare na qayaamat shab-e-tanhaai ki
us ne jalati hui peshaani pe jo haath rakhaa
ruuh tak aa gai taasir masihaai ki
