Ek lamha maykade men jo ham log aa gaye;
Kuch baat-cheet kar gaye kutch hans-hans gaye!
Ab isamein apni surat-e-raana na dekhiye;
Ab dil ke aaine men kahi baar aa gaye!
Dam le ke ek lamha chale jaayenge faqeer;
Sunke tumhaare kuld ki taareef aa gaye!
Kitne haseen log the jo mil ke ek baar;
Aankhon mein jazb ho gaye dil men sama gaye!
Kuch baat-cheet kar gaye kutch hans-hans gaye!
Ab isamein apni surat-e-raana na dekhiye;
Ab dil ke aaine men kahi baar aa gaye!
Dam le ke ek lamha chale jaayenge faqeer;
Sunke tumhaare kuld ki taareef aa gaye!
Kitne haseen log the jo mil ke ek baar;
Aankhon mein jazb ho gaye dil men sama gaye!
