sahar qareeb hai taaron ka haal kya hoga

karaar loot liya bekaraar chchor gaye
bahaar le gaye yadein bahaar chchor gaye
hamari chashme hazeen ka na kuch khayaal kiya
wo umar bhar ke liye ashq baar chchor gaye

wo aa rahe hain wo ayenge aa rahe honge
shab e firaak mein yeh keh ke subah ki maine

sahar qareeb hai taaron ka haal kya hoga
aye chalne waale aur zara do kadam sahi

aye shama subah hoti hai roti hai kis liye
sahar qareeb hai

sahar qareeb hai taaron ka haal kya hoga
ab intezaar ke maaron ka haal kya hoga

unko aana tha na aaye kaut kar
ab intezaar ke maaron ka haal kya hoga

gar girata nahi thaamne ka 

faayda kya is qadar bahaane ka

teri nigah ne zaalim kabhi yeh socha hai

kisi ke dil mein rahi aur kisi ke paar gayi

karun tareef kya teri nazar ki

ke lakhon ghayal jidhar gayi

teri nigah ne zaalim kabhi yeh socha hai

teri nigah ke maaron ka haal kya hoga

mukabla hai tere husn ka bahaaron se

aaena utha le aaye aur aqs se ye bole

tabassum zer e lab hai aaeena mat e mukabil hai

tamasha deed bhi hai saamne kaatil ke kaatil hai

barabar khafa ho barabar manaye

na tum baaaz aao na ham baaz aayein

udhar zulfon mein kanghi ho rahi hai kham nikalta hai

idhar rag rag se khinch khinch kar hamara dam nikalta hai

ilahi khair ho uljhan pe uljhan padhti jaati hai

na unka kham nikalta hai na mera dam nikalta hai

mukabla hai tere husn ka bahaaron se

na aaj bahaaron ka haal kya hoga

naqaab unka ulatna toh chaahta hun magar

mera kya gulshan e bahar mein 

main rha toh kya na raha toh kya rahe

yun dekh toh le pehle jo hoga so dekhenge

aye dast e talab badhkar sarka de naqaab unka

mehfil mein toh hain lekin ghunghat kiye baithe hain

allah reh shaam unki reh hijaab unka 

wo kyun na karein parda rukh unka naqaab unka

naqaab unka ulatna toh chaahta hun magar

bigad gaye toh nazaaron ka haal kya hoga

mazaak e deed hi sahba agar badal jaaye

toh zindagi ki bahaaron ka haal kya hoga
