ham ko maaloom hai jannat kee haqeeqat lekin
dil ke khush rakhane ko gaalib ye khayaal achchha hai
ishq ne ghalib nikamma kar diya
varna ham bhee aadamee the kaam ke
is saadagee pe kaun na mar jae ai khuda
ladate hain aur haath mein talavaar bhee nahin
mohabbat mein nahin hai farq jeene aur marane ka
usee ko dekh kar jeete hain jis kaafir pe dam nikale
hazaaron khvaahishen aisee ki har khvaahish pe dam nikale
bahut nikale mire aramaan lekin phir bhee kam nikale
un ke dekhe se jo aa jaatee hai munh par raunaq
vo samajhate hain ki beemaar ka haal achchha hai
ye na thee hamaaree qismat ki visaal-e-yaar hota
agar aur jeete rahate yahee intizaar hota
ragon mein daudate phirane ke ham nahin qail
jab aankh hee se na tapaka to phir lahoo kya hai
isharat-e-qatara hai dariya mein fana ho jaana
dard ka had se guzarana hai dava ho jaana
ishq par zor nahin hai ye vo aatish ghalib
ki lagae na lage aur bujhae na bane
