ai miyan kaun ye kahta hai mohabbat ki hai
baat ye hai ki yahan baat zarurat ki hai

phir koi chaak gareban liye phirta hai
hazrat-e-ishq ne phir koi shararat ki hai

bas yunhi ek hayula sa nazar aaya tha
aur phir dil ne dhadakne ki jo shiddat ki hai

wo meri chah ka waise bhi talabgar na tha
phir mere dil ne sambhalne mein bhi ujlat ki hai

hum bahut dur chale aae hain basne ko 'ata'
is se pahle bhi bahut dur se hijrat ki hai
