Aaj khushboo mehaki hain...!

Aaj khushboo mehaki hain galiyon mein tere aane se,
har hawaon ki fizaon mein mehaka hain gul-e-badan tera,
hum kuch aise khogayen hain khwaabo mein tere,
ke kamosh kahin bethe aur hosh kahin khogaya,
mujhe yaad hain woh silsila jo pehle bhi khila tha,
woh aaj phir mehaka hain galiyon mein tere aane se (2)

Jahan bhi phere nazaar ko sirf tu hi chaayi hain,
udti ghaata ke sangat mein teri hukumat samaayi hain,
nasha chaagaya hain sokh-e-deedar ka,
mausam-e-bahaar ki rangat machla rahe hain teri har ada,
gaa rahe hain pathar jo kabhi be-jaan the,
jaan aaj barso ke baad aayi in mein,
jo aaj phir mehaki hain galiyon mein khushboo tere aane se (2)

samaa kuch aur hain aaj kya bayaan kare tumse,
sab se alag tumhara andaaz jisme hum khogaye,
mulaqaato ka carvaan aise chale hain,
jaise arzoo ke ghere mein panaah leke saugaye hain,
nain aise aaj sakoon paye jaise naa paaya hain pehle kabhi,
thandak mili hain anskh-e-shoolo ko,
jo aaj phir mehaki hain galiyon mein khushboo tere aane se (2)

Aaj khushboo mehaki hain galiyon mein tere aane se (2)

kuch pal ruka yeh khushi ka safar ke undhero mein bethe hain,
jo booj gaye diye tere aaj chale jaane se,
tere aaj chale jaane se (3)
ke tere aaj chale jaane se!
