bahut makeup lagati hai ha
men nakhray dikhaati hai
kabhi nazrein churaati hai kabhi hamko sataati hai
nazar uski kare ghaayal labon ka kaam hai marham
muhabbat dard deti hai magar jeena sikhaati hai

tu to phir apni jaan hai teraa to zikr kya
ham tere doston ke bhi nakhray uthaenge

naaz-o-nakhre kya uthaaye kya sune us ke gile

dekhte rahne men us ko aur kya hota magar
jo thii jaan-e-aarzoo vo chaai thandi ho gaii

na sarkaari ho banda to koi ladki nahin deta
