Jalta sheher bachaya ja sakta hai

Pani ankh mein bhar ker laya jasakta hai
Ab bhi jalta sheher bachaya ja sakta hai

Aik mohabbat aur woh bhi nakam mohabat
Lekin is se kaam chalaya ja sakta hai

Dil per paani peeney ati hain umeedien
Is chashme mein zeher milaya jasakta hai

Mujh gumnaam se poochte hai farhaad o majnoon
Ishq mein kitna naam kamaya ja sakta hai

Yeh mehtab yeh raat ki peshani ka ghao
Esa zakham to dil per khaya jasakta hai

Phatta purana khawb hai mera phir bhi tabish
Is mein apna aap chupaya jasakta hai
