aise ki mohabbat ko mohabbat na kahenge
is aam inayat ko inayat na kahenge

kahiye to kahun anjuman-e-ghair ko rudad
kya ab bhi ise aap karamat na kahenge

samjhenge na aghyar ko aghyar kahan tak
kab tak wo mohabbat ko mohabbat na kahenge

jab arbada-ju tum ho to kyun sabr sameten
hum is mein raqibon ki shararat na kahenge

hai yaad 'zahir' un ka shab-e-wasl bigadna
wo talkhi-e-dushnam ki lazzat na kahenge
