Dil toota toh woh bhi Abhi tukdon mein bata hai
Ik shaks meri zaat ke ander Jo basa hai

Ik shor sa har gosha-e-dil mein Jo macha hai
Shayad mere ander kahin kuchh toot Gaya hai

Jisme hai mahak Teri Tera naam likha hai
Har ek qadam par woh nisha mujhko dikha hai

Deta hai har ik lamha mujhe ek azeeat
Aye ajnabi tu kaun hai kya naam Tera hai

Lauta mera maazi toh kahan dhundega mujhko
Ab dil mein shab-o-roz yeh dhadka sa laga hai

Yeh amr kisi ek ke bas ka toh nahi tha
Tu bhi hai gunahgaar toh meri bhi khata hai

Har zarb mein ik lay hai toh nagma hai tadap mein
Is tees mein is dard mein kuch aur maza hai

Himmat se samandar mein bhi ban jati hai rahein
Tadbeer se taqdeer ka likhkha bhi tala hai

Khamoshi yeh meri mera iqraar nahi hai
Shikve toh Kai hai pa mera dahen sila hai

Ab bhi na agar Lauta toh kho dega mujhe woh
Ab tak toh mera baab-e-tamanna bhi Khula hai

Yeh lay yeh ravani yeh tajalli yeh hararat
'mumtaz' meri zaat mein shola sa jala hai
