Hai yeh sama kuch mehka mehka sa

Hai yeh sama kuch mehka mehka sa,

Kisi ke' pyar ki goonj sunaayee' de' rahi hai.

Hum baithe' hain unka chand sa chehra dekhne' ke' liye',

Aur woh kahin dooor se' apni pyari awaaz se',

Hamein betaab kiye' jaa rahi hai.

Iss shaam ki thandi hawa apne' saath,

Raat ki rani ki mehak hum tak pahooncha rahi hai.

Aisa lagta hai ke' yeh unki zulfon ki mehak hai,

Shayad iss fiza ko apna mehak de' kar ek paigham bheja hai,

Hamein shayad haal-e-dil sunana chahti hai.

Nazron mein betaabi ki ab inteha ho gayi,

Neend aankhon ko ab sataane' lagi hai,

Magar unka woh chand sa chehra hamse' kitni dooor hai.

Sochta hoon ab apne' khwab mein unko dhoond loon,

Yeh meri zehen ka kahin dhokha toh nahi,

Kya pata aur kya khabar?
