garm saanson men chhupe raaz bataaun kis ko

narm hothon men dabi baat kise pesh karun

nagama-o-sher ki

koi humraaz to paaun, koi humdum to mile

koi humraaz to paaun, koi humdum to mile

dil ki dhadkan ke ishaaraat kise pesh karun

naghama-o-sher ki saugaat kise pesh karun

chhoo lene do naazuk honthon ko

Lyrical

Sahir Ludhianvi,born as Abdul Hayee, was an unorthdox poet and lyricist who wrote about the declining social values of the society as are evident from the songs of Pyaasa. Quite contrary to his pensive writing, here is a song where he yearns for the lips of his over ,who he think is a goblet, a wineglass.
