KHaak bastiyon men ghar ret ke banaoge
roz roz aise hi khoob chot khaaoge
sochte to hain ham bhi chhat se kood jaayen ab
phir khayal aata hai tum kahaan pe jaaoge
jo hamaare ho kar bhi har kisi ko dekhoge
be-wafa kii ginti men yaar aa hi jaaoge
be-naqaab hokar ke ham nikal to aayenge
ho gaya kahiin kuchh bhi hampe tin-tinaoge
shab ke aath bajte hi tum kahaan pe jaate ho
koii pooch baitha phir bolo kya bataoge
jab raqeeb bankar hi kuchh nahin hua tumse
tum habeeb bankar kya bastiyaan jalaaoge
jab nazar jhukaoge baat ban hi jaayegi
pyaar se jo bolenge tum bhi maan jaaoge
ishq ka muhabbat ka jab bukhaar aayega
vaqt par davaa lena KHud hi bhool jaaoge
jab kabhi bhi tanhaaii noch karke khaayegi
meraa naam likh kar tum haath par mitaoge
dastaan mohabbat kii ek baar sun loge
meraa naam geeton men tum bhi gun-gunaoge
