chhod de ai dil mohabbat ka khayal achchha nahin
kaam achchha hai magar is ka maal achchha nahin

un se jo kahna hai ai dil kah samajh kar soch kar
ye bhi kuchh kahne mein kahna hai ki haal achchha nahin

ai dil-e-barbaad ab hum se gila be-sud hai
hum to kahte the mohabbat ka maal achchha nahin

hans raha hun is liye apne dil-e-barbaad par
ek mohsin ki inayat par malal achchha nahin

dur dur un se rahe hum khud ghurur-e-ishq mein
kaun ab un se kahe ja kar ki haal achchha nahin

dil ki khatir hi kiya tha tark-e-ulfat ka khayal
dil hi ab kahta hai mujh se ye khayal achchha nahin

abr bhi meri tarah rota hi rahta hai mudam
us ke bhi talea mein shayad koi sal achchha nahin

hai talab tujh ko to phir husn-e-talab se kaam le
lab pe aa jae agar harf-e-sawal achchha nahin

kya kahun 'sahir' ki ab kaisa zamana aa gaya
dushmani kya dosti ka bhi maal achchha nahin
