ab wo mahki hui si raat nahin
baat kya hai ki ab wo baat nahin

phir wahi jagna hai din ki tarah
raat hai aur jaise raat nahin

baat apni tumhein na yaad rahi
khair jaane do koi baat nahin

kuchh nahin hai to yaad hai un ki
un se tark-e-talluqat nahin

phir bhi dil ko badi umiden hain
go ba-zahir tawaqquat nahin

ishq hota hai khud-ba-khud paida
ishq ke kuchh lawazimat nahin

aise 'fazli' ke sher kam honge
jin mein kuchh dil ki wardat nahin
