dil ko teri nazar se bachaya na ja saka
taqdir ke likhe ko mitaya na ja saka

tum ne hamein bhula diya dil se magar tumhein
koshish ke bawajud bhulaya na ja saka

shikwa nahin tumhaara ki puchha na tum ne haal
meri khata hai mujh se sunaya na ja saka

kaifiyyat-e-sharab-e-mohabbat na puchhiye
madhosh ho ke hosh mein aaya na ja saka

tasir-e-ishq kahiye ki bechaargi-e-husn
un se mera khayal bhulaya na ja saka

kuchh dil ki dhadkanen bhi hain aah-o-buka ke sath
naghma baghair saz ke gaya na ja saka

jo baryab-e-jalwa-gah-e-naz ho gaya
wo sar kisi ke dar pe jhukaya na ja saka

sad-ehtimam-exarz-e-tamanna ke bawajud
ek harf bhi zaban pe laya na ja saka

'talat' junun-e-ishq mein hum ne utha liya
wo bar jo kisi se uthaya na ja saka
