ghatega tere kuche mein waqar aahista aahista
badhega aashiqi ka e'tibar aahista aahista

bahut nadim hue aakhir wo mere qatl-e-nahaq par
hui qadr-e-wafa jab aashkar aahista aahista

jila-e-shauq se aaina-e-taswir-e-khatir mein
numayan ho chala ru-e-nigar aahista aahista

mohabbat ki jo phaili hai ye nikhat bagh-e-alam mein
hui hai muntashir khushbu-e-yar aahista aahista

dil o jaan o jigar sabr o khirad jo kuchh hai pas apne
ye sab kar denge hum un par nisar aahista aahista

ajab kuchh haal ho jata hai apna be-qarari se
bajate hain kabhi jab wo sitar aahista aahista

asar kuchh kuchh rahega wasl mein bhi ranj-e-furqat ka
dil-e-muztar ko aaega qarar aahista aahista

na aaenge wo 'hasrat' intizar-e-shauq mein yunhi
guzar jaenge ayyam-e-bahaar aahista aahista
