dil ke lutne pe kya kare koi
kis se ja kar pata kare koi

sochta hun ki kis bharose par
jaan tum par fida kare koi

yani umr-e-khizar to hasil ho
chand sanson ka kya kare koi

ek hi to sada-e-majnun hai
mere dukh ki dawa kare koi

us pe lazim usi ka ho jaana
jis ko kuchh bhi ata kare koi

koi rasta nikal hi aata hai
ek zara aasra kare koi

gah chalti ba-gah rukti hai
aisi dhadkan ka kya kare koi

jun farishta ajal ka aata hai
aise wada-wafa kare koi

sakht mushkil hai fil-badih kahna
chhed hire mein kya kare koi
