bayan hon bhi to hon aakhir kahan jo dil ki baaten hain
na tanhai ki baaten hain na ye mahfil ki baaten hain

murattab kar liya yun hum ne afsana mohabbat ka
kuchh un ke dil ki baaten hain kuchh apne dil ki baaten hain

jo un mein phans gaya phir rah par wo aa nahin sakta
bade chakkar ki baaten rahbar-e-manzil ki baaten hain

tumhaara waz raaz-e-ishq kya kholega ai waiz
zaban ki ye nahin hazrat ye chashm-o-dil ki baaten hain

wo mahfil se juda bhi ho chuke mahfil ko garma kar
magar mahfil mein ab tak garmi-e-mahfil ki baaten hain

zaban se kuchh kaho sahab magar malum hai hum ko
tumhaare dil ki sab baaten hamare dil ki baaten hain

mujhe dars-e-sukun dete hain wo josh-e-tamanna mein
udhar tufan ki khwahish hai idhar sahil ki baaten hain

main apne haal-o-mazi par bhi kuchh ai 'arsh' ro leta
magar pesh-e-nazar is waqt mustaqbil ki baaten hain
