dil agar dil hai to har haal mein ruswa hoga
jab gham-e-ishq na hoga gham-e-duniya hoga

aql darti hai maal-e-gham-e-dil kya hoga
ishq kahta hai ki har haal mein jina hoga

lut gaya ishq ki nazron ka wo saman-e-shakeb
ab tera husn jahan bhi ho tamasha hoga

saz-e-dil tishna-e-mizrab hai mayus na ho
ek din naghma-e-ummid bhi paida hoga

shab-e-gham aah ye andoh ye uljhan ye tadap
sochta hun ki maal-e-shab-e-gham kya hoga

dil hai aur talkhi-e-gham hath hain aur saghar-e-mai
kya khabar thi hamein ye zahr bhi pina hoga

wo dilaen to jafaon ke tasalsul ka yaqin
is se badh kar koi inam-e-wafa kya hoga

aane wali hai mohabbat ki wo manzil 'shahid'
jab hamein yas pe ummid ka dhoka hoga
