Tum jo pal ko thahar jao to ye lamhen bhi

Tum jo pal ko thahar jao to ye lamhen bhi

aanevale lamhon ke amanat ban jayen

tum jo thahar jao to ye rat, mahatab

ye sabza, ye gulab aur hum donon ke khwab

sab ke sab aise mubaham hon ki haqiqat ho jayen

tum thahar jao ki unavan ke tafasir ho tum

tum se talkhi-e-auqat ka mausam badle

raat to kya badalegi, halat to kya badlenge

tum jo thahar jao to meri zat ka mausam badle

maharban ho ke na thaharo to phir yun thaharo

jaise pal bhar ko koi khvab-e-tamanna thahare

jaise daravesh-e-mada-nosh ke pyale mein kabhi

ek do pal ke liye talkhi-e-duniya thahare

thahar jao ke madarat maikhane se

chalte chalte koi ek-adh subu ho jaye

is se pahale ke koi lamha aainda ka tir

is tarah aaye ke pevast-e-gulu ho jaye
