dil hamein chaak-gareban nahin hone deta
aur junun tangi-e-daman nahin hone deta

ek saya hai jo mujh mein kahin poshida hai
ek suraj hai ki taban nahin hone deta

ek jala hai jo danai ne bun rakha hai
main jo chahun bhi to nadan nahin hone deta

tham leta hai koi daman-e-imkan-e-sarab
kyon hamein sarf-e-nigaran nahin hone deta

mar hi jaenge pasheman jo hue ishq mein hum
bas yahi khauf pasheman nahin hone deta

bas wahi khwab ki jo did ki hasrat mein mita
aankh ko khana-e-viran nahin hone deta

koi is anjuman-arai se nalan hai ki jo
bas yahan jashn-e-bahaaran nahin hone deta
