ek ajanabii, hasiinaa se, yuun mulaakaat, ho gaii 

phir kyaa huaa, ye naa puuchho, kuchh aisii baat, ho gaii 

ek ajanabii ... 



vo achaanak aa gaii, yuun nazar ke saamane 

jaise nikal aayaa ghataa se chaand 

chehare pe zulfen, bikharii huii thiin 

din mein raat ho gaii 

ek ajanabii ... 



jaan-e-man jaan-e-jigar, hotaa main shaayar agar 

kahataa gazal terii adaaon par 

main ne ye kahaa to, mujhase kafaa vo 

jaan-e-hayaat ho gaii 

ek ajanabii ... 



khuubasuurat baat ye, chaar pal kaa saath ye 

saarii umar mujhako rahegaa yaad 

main akelaa thaa magar, ban gaii vo hamasafar 

vo mere saath ho gaii 

ek ajanabii ...
