tum na mano magar haqiqat hai
ishq insan ki zarurat hai

ji raha hun is e'timad ke sath
zindagi ko meri zarurat hai

husn hi husn jalwe hi jalwe
sirf ehsas ki zarurat hai

us ke wade pe naz the kya kya
ab dar-o-baam se nadamat hai

us ki mahfil mein baith kar dekho
zindagi kitni khub-surat hai

rasta kat hi jaega 'qabil'
shauq-e-manzil agar salamat hai
