charaaghon ko aankhon mein mahfuz rakhnaa — Bashir Badr

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kuchh to majburiyaan rahi hongi
yuun koi bevafaa nahin hotaa

udaas aankhon se aansu nahin nikalte hain
ye motiyon ki tarah sipiyon mein palte hain

bhuul shaayad bahut baDi kar li
dil ne duniyaa se dosti kar li

hasin to aur hain lekin koi kahaan tujh saa
jo dil jalaae bahut phir bhi dilrubaa hi lage

khudaa aise ehsaas kaa naam hai
rahe saamne aur dikhaai na de

jhaankte raat ke garebaan se
ham ne sau aaftaab dekhe hain

raushni ho rahi hai kuchh mahsus
kyaa shab aakhir tamaam ko pahunchi

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

ghubaar-e-shahr mein use na DhunD jo khizaan ki shab
havaa ki raah se milaa, havaa ki raah par gayaa

charaagh ki thartharaati lau mein har os qatre mein har kiran mein
tumhaari aankhein kahaan nahin thiin tumhaaraa chehra kahaan nahin thaa

ye sar-ba-mohr botalein hain jo sharaab ki
raatein hain un mein band hamaari shabaab ki
