dekh jurm-o-saza ki baat na kar
mai-kade mein khuda ki baat na kar

main to be-mehriyon ka aadi hun
mujh se mehr-o-wafa ki baat na kar

shauq-e-be-muddaa ka mara hun
shauq-e-be-muddaa ki baat na kar

wo to muddat hui ki tut gaya
mere dast-e-dua ki baat na kar

jo nahin ikhtiyar mein mere
us but be-wafa ki baat na kar

ishq ki intiha ko dekh zara
ishq ki ibtida ki baat na kar

kya mila fikr ki rasai se
meri fikr-e-rasa ki baat na kar

is ki taqdir mein kharabi thi
is dil-e-mubtala ki baat na kar

jo bhi hona tha ho gaya 'shoala'
karam-e-nakhuda ki baat na kar
