agar sunani hai har qadam par nai kahani to haar mani
fareb khate hue guzarni hai zindagani to haar mani

agar mohabbat tera rawayya hai phir paraya to baz aaya
agar zamane teri rawish hai wahi purani to haar mani

hum apna jiwan hum apni khushiyan hum apna sab kuchh luta chuke hain
agar hai phir bhi hamari qismat mein raigani to haar mani

samajh rahi hai agar mohabbat ko silsila ek himaqaton ka
samajh rahi hai jo khud ko tu is qadar siyani to haar mani

nahin batana jo kis tanasub se jhut hai sari dastan mein
nahin batana jo dudh kya aur kya hai pani to haar mani

sukhan ki dewi jo mehrban ho nahin rahi 'iftikhar' 'haidar'
jo ruk rahi hai qalam ki qirtas par rawani to haar mani
