Mein ney nazar’on sey is ko chum lia
jo tum ney mujhey dia tha kabhi
ik mehakta hua sa surkh gulab
zindagi ki haseen raah’on mein
in mehakti hui fiza’on mein
is ki khushbo mein din guzar’on gi
mujh ko jenay ka hosla dey ga
ik mehakta hua surkh gulab
mein isi soch key samandar mein
ghota zan thi key yak-ba-yak mujh ko
dour rastey mein tum nazar aye
tum kisi ajnabi si larki ko
dey rahey thay khod apney hath’on sey
ik mehakta hua surkh gulab!
