terii Khushbuu kaa pataa kartii hai
mujh pe ehasaan havaa kartii hai
shab kii tanhaa_ii men ab to aksar
guftaguu tujh se rahaa kartii hai
dil ko us raah pe chalanaa hii nahiin
jo mujhe tujh se judaa karatii hai
zindagii merii thii lekin ab to
tere kahane men rahaa kartii hai
us ne dekhaa hii nahiin varnaa ye aaNkh
dil kaa ehavaal kahaa kartii hai
beniyaaz-e-kaaf-e-dariyaa angusht
ret par naam likhaa kartii hai
shaam paDate hii kisii shaKhs kii yaad
kuuchaa-e-jaaN men sadaa kartii hai
mujh se bhii us kaa hai vaisaa hii suluuk
haal jo teraa ana??? kartii hai
dukh huaa karataa hai kuchh aur bayaaN
baat kuchh aur huaa kartii hai
abr barase to inaayat us kii
shaaKh to sirf duaa kartii hai
masalaa jab bhii uThaa chiraaGon kaa
faisalaa sirf havaa kartii hai
