kab yaad mein tera sath nahin kab hat mein tera hat nahin
sad-shukr ki apni raaton mein ab hijr ki koi raat nahin
mushkil hain agar haalat wahan dil bech aaen jaan de aaen
dil walo kucha-e-jaanan mein kya aise bhi haalat nahin
jis dhaj se koi maqtal mein gaya wo shan salamat rahti hai
ye jaan to aani jaani hai is jaan ki to koi baat nahin
maidan-e-wafa darbar nahin yan nam-o-nasab ki puchh kahan
aashiq to kisi ka nam nahin kuchh ishq kisi ki zat nahin
gar bazi ishq ki bazi hai jo chaho laga do dar kaisa
gar jit gae to kya kahna haare bhi to bazi mat nahin
