ab to yahii hai.n dil kii du_aa_e.n
bhuulane waale bhuul hii jaaye.n

wajah-e-sitam kuchh ho to bataaye.n
ek mohabbat laakh Kataaye.n

dard-e-mohabbat dil me.n chhupaayaa
aa.Nkh ke aa.Nsuu kaise chhupaaye.n

hosh aur unakii diid kaa daawaa
dekhane waale hosh me.n aaye.n

dil kii tabaahii bhuule nahii.n ham
dete hai.n ab tak unako du_aa_e.n

ra.ng-e-zamaanaa dekhane waale
unakii nazar bhii dekhate jaaye.n

shaGal-e-mohabbat ab hai ye 'taskii.n'
sher kahe.n aur jii bahalaaye.n
