dil se be-chaargi-e-ishq zaban tak pahunchi
hae majburi-e-haalat kahan tak pahunchi

meri rudad-e-alam un ki zaban tak pahunchi
dil se nikli hui aawaz kahan tak pahunchi

apna to kaam hai paigham-e-mohabbat dena
ye nahin dekhte aawaz kahan tak pahunchi

main khuda jaane mohabbat mein kahan tak pahuncha
aur duniya mere qadmon ke nishan tak pahunchi

koi afsana nahin banta haqiqat ke baghair
dil se nikli to koi baat zaban tak pahunchi

koi mafhum na samjha mere afsane ka
sirf logon ki nazar husn-e-bayan tak pahunchi

kya kahenge tujhe arbab-e-mohabbat 'raunaq'
ishq ki baat agar lafz-o-bayan tak pahunchi
