hasin hai shahr to ujlat mein kyun guzar jaen
junun-e-shauq use bhi nihaal kar jaen

ye aur baat ki hum ko nazar nahin aae
magar wo sath hi rahta hai hum jidhar jaen

hayat-e-ishq ka maqsud ban gai aakhir
ye aarzu ki tera nam le ke mar jaen

ye rah-e-ishq hai aakhir koi mazaq nahin
saubaton se jo ghabra gae hon ghar jaen

pahunch ke manzil-e-maqsud par hi dam lenge
ki chal pade hain to kis munh se laut kar jaen
