ruh ko apni tah-e-dam nahin kar sakta
main kabhi subh se yun sham nahin kar sakta

umr-bhar sath to rah sakta hun tere lekin
apni aankhen main tere nam nahin kar sakta

tujh ko itna nahin malum mere bare mein
shart rakh kar main koi kaam nahin kar sakta

mujh pe har ek se mohabbat ki ye tohmat na laga
main ki is jazbe ko yun aam nahin kar sakta

is qadar uljha hua rahta hun khud se ki 'rawish'
do ghadi ko bhi main aaram nahin kar sakta
