zara si der tabiat bahaal rahne de
main yun hi khush hun mujhe pur-malal rahne de

khabar nahin ki ghalat kya hai aur kya hai durust
dila ye ishq hai to qil-o-qal rahne de

yahan pe harakat-e-makus ka hai dakhl bada
isi liye mujhe waqf-e-sawal rahne de

kise hai zarf-e-tamanna ki wusaton ki khabar
main hijr mang rahi hun visal rahne de

kisi nashat ke lamhe ko kab hai likhna mujhe
tu aish-e-hijr se mujh ko nidhaal rahne de

na kar wazahat-e-tamsil-e-raqs-e-kar-e-junun
mujhe samajhna hai to be-misal rahne de

tu mere ishq ke kuze ko tod de lekin
bas aisa kar ki mere khadd-o-khal rahne de

tu ek payaade ko shah-mat dena chahta hai
main haar man gai apni chaal rahne de
