rim-jhim rim-jhim barse baadal

rim-jhim rim-jhim barse bādal

dil hai kisī kī yaad se jal-thal

bhīgī bhīgī laT jhaTkā.e

raat khaḌī hai bāñdhe paa.el

kaahe machā.e shor papīhe

tū bhī ghāyal maiñ bhī ghāyal

mere aañsū bhī le jaanā

un ke nagar jab jaanā bādal

jīvan ik ban-bās ho jaise

kitnā ghanā hai dard kā jangal

un se mile the dil bahlāne

un se mil kar dil hai bekal

terī tarah ye barkhā rut bhī

kitnī salonī kitnī chanchal

priit kare aur phir pachhtā.e

dil sā na hogā koī pāgal

duniyā kī har chiiz hai faanī

terā giit amar hai koyal

chāñd akelā maiñ bhī akelā

raat hai kitnī dard se bojhal

koī bhī mantar kaam na aa.e

Das le agar us aañkh kā kājal

aaj 'shahāb' ko ham ne dekhā

ishq kā maarā husn kā ghāyal

rim-jhim rim-jhim barse baadal

dil hai kisi ki yaad se jal-thal

bhigi bhigi laT jhaTkae

raat khaDi hai bandhe pael

kahe machae shor papihe

tu bhi ghayal main bhi ghayal

mere aansu bhi le jaana

un ke nagar jab jaana baadal

jiwan ek ban-bas ho jaise

kitna ghana hai dard ka jangal

un se mile the dil bahlane

un se mil kar dil hai bekal

teri tarah ye barkha rut bhi

kitni saloni kitni chanchal

prit kare aur phir pachhtae

dil sa na hoga koi pagal

duniya ki har chiz hai fani

tera git amar hai koyal

chand akela main bhi akela

raat hai kitni dard se bojhal

koi bhi mantar kaam na aae

Das le agar us aankh ka kajal

aaj 'shahab' ko hum ne dekha

ishq ka mara husn ka ghayal
