kabhi surat jo mujhe aa ke dikha jate ho

kabhī sūrat jo mujhe aa ke dikhā jaate ho

din mirī ziist ke kuchh aur baḌhā jaate ho

ik jhalak tum jo lab-e-bām dikhā jaate ho

dil pe ik kauñdtī bijlī sī girā jaate ho

mere pahlū meñ tum aao ye kahāñ mere nasīb

ye bhī kyā kam hai tasavvur meñ to aa jaate ho

taaza kar jaate ho tum dil meñ purānī yādeñ

ḳhvāb-e-shīrīñ se tamannā ko jagā jaate ho

itnī ham ko bhī dikhāte ho masīhā-nafasī

hasrat-e-murda ko aa aa ke jilā jaate ho

nigah-e-lutf meñ jaadū hai tumhārī jānāñ

saare shikve-gile ik pal meñ bhulā jaate ho

shola-e-tūr se tū vādi-e-aiman hī jalā

tum jahāñ aate ho ik aag lagā jaate ho

hai to 'nairañg' vahī ishq kā ronā-dhonā

inhī bātoñ meñ nayā rañg dikhā jaate ho

kabhi surat jo mujhe aa ke dikha jate ho

din meri zist ke kuchh aur baDha jate ho

ek jhalak tum jo lab-e-baam dikha jate ho

dil pe ek kaundti bijli si gira jate ho

mere pahlu mein tum aao ye kahan mere nasib

ye bhi kya kam hai tasawwur mein to aa jate ho

taza kar jate ho tum dil mein purani yaaden

KHwab-e-shirin se tamanna ko jaga jate ho

itni hum ko bhi dikhate ho masiha-nafasi

hasrat-e-murda ko aa aa ke jila jate ho

nigah-e-lutf mein jadu hai tumhaari jaanan

sare shikwe-gile ek pal mein bhula jate ho

shola-e-tur se tu wadi-e-aiman hi jala

tum jahan aate ho ek aag laga jate ho

hai to 'nairang' wahi ishq ka rona-dhona

inhi baaton mein naya rang dikha jate ho
