yek shahenashaah ne banawaa ke haseen taajamahal
saaree duniyaan ko mohabbat kee nishaanee dee hain

is ke saaye mein sadaa pyaar ke charche honge
khatm jo ho naa sakegee wo kahaanee dee hain

taaj wo shammaa hain, ulafat ke sanamakhaane kee 
jisake parawaano mein mufalees bhee hain, jaradaar bhee hain
sangemaramar mein samaaye huye khwaabon kee kasam
marahale pyaar ke aasaan bhee dushwaar bhee hain
dil ko yek josh  iraadon ko jawaanee dee hain

taaj yek jindaa tasawwoor hain kisee shaayar kaa
isakaa afasaanaa hakeekat ke siwaa kuchh bhee nahee
is ke aagosh mein aakar ye gumaa hotaa hain
jindagee jaise mohabbat ke siwaa kuchh bhee nahee
taaj ne pyaar ke maujon ko rawaanee dee hain

ye haseen raat ye mahakee huyee puranoor fajaa
ho ijaajat to ye dil ishk kaa ijahaar karen
ishk insaan ko insaan banaa detaa hain
kisakee himmat hain mohabbat se jo inkaar kare
aaj takadeer ne ye raat suhaanee dee hain
