bichhad ke un ke hum is ehtimal se bhi gae
bayan-e-gham se gae arz-e-haal se bhi gae

thi jin ki yaad se raushan khayal ki duniya
wo aise ruthe bisat-e-khayal se bhi gae

nigahen milne se mumkin hai pyar aa jae
hum un ki bazm mein kuchh is khayal se bhi gae

unhon ne aa ke koi haal tak nahin puchha
banawati hi sahi indimal se bhi gae

dil un ko de ke bahut mutmain hue hum bhi
ki roz roz ki ab dekh-bhaal se bhi gae

nigah-e-lutf nahin to nigah-e-qahr sahi
sitam to ye hai hum is ehtimal se bhi gae

wo aae chin-ba-jabin is liye sar-e-mahfil
hum un se ab to jawab-o-sawal se bhi gae

dil ek piyala tha mitti ka wo bhi tut gaya
nigah milte hi jam-e-sifal se bhi gae

khuda pe chhod ke ai 'mauj' kashti-e-ulfat
sukun pa gae fikr-e-maal se bhi gae
