Mujhe rehne do dill k paas, kitne paas? mut pocho
Abhi rehne do meri aas, hay kaisi aas mut pocho

merey dill k makeeno main tumhara naam shamil hay
haan mano tum ho khasul khaas, kitne khaas? mut pocho

khata jo kar nahi paay, saza us ki bhi paa li hay
chubhi hay aisi mun main phaans , hay kya ahsaas? mut pocho

yehi ab jee main aata hay main dariya dukh ka pee jaoo.n
bari mudat sey mujh koi piyaas, hay kaisi piyaas? mut pocho

main hansna bhi agar chahoo.n tu aankhain ro hi parti hain
meri aankhoo.n ko anso raas, hain kitne raas? mut pocho

Shagufta khwaab they jitne haqaiq nay jala daale
na jeene ki koi ab aas, bacha kya paas?, mut pocho
