ye chhalakate huye jajabaat kise pesh karu
shaukh aakhon ke ujaalon ko lutaoo kis par
mast julfon kee siyaah raat kise pesh karu
garma saason mein chhupe raaj bataaoo kis ko
narma hothhon mein dabee baat kise pesh karu
koee humaraaj to paaoo, koee humadam to mile
dil kee dhadakan ke ishaaraat kise pesh karu
