be-khudi mein khumar ki baaten
jabr mein ikhtiyar ki baaten

jazba-e-be-qarar ki baaten
hon na hon hain bahaar ki baaten

ek musht-e-ghubar ki baaten
aur is eatibar ki baaten

wo karen mujh se pyar ki baaten
hain ye lail-o-nahaar ki baaten

ban gain haal-e-zar ki baaten
baaton baaton mein pyar ki baaten

dil ki gahraiyon se hoti hain
dida-e-ashk-bar ki baaten

tul gham ko den aap ke dushman
kijiye ikhtisar ki baaten

be-qarari ka raaz ban jaen
kash dil ke qarar ki baaten

inqilabaat ka fasana hain
gardish-e-rozgar ki baaten

asl nairangi-e-jahan ka kya
chashm-e-be-e'tibar ki baaten

khub charche hue mohabbat ke
khub sunwaen pyar ki baaten

sadgi hi mein 'shad' rahna hai
hain giran sab waqar ki baaten
