hamari chand se sohbat nahin ho pai koshish ki
zamin-e-hijr se hijrat nahin ho pai koshish ki

bhulaya bhi tumhaari yaad ko kuchh der tak lekin
kabhi ye mustaqil aadat nahin ho pai koshish ki

tumhaari be-rukhi tum se khridun aur bartun main
magar tai koi bhi qimat nahin ho pai koshish ki

duaen mangte hi rah gae baran-e-rahmat ki
falak se aamad-e-rahmat nahin ho pai koshish ki

tumhaare ahd-e-ulfat ki khilafat man li dil ne
tumhaare baad ye bai'at nahin ho pai koshish ki

kaha us ne chale jao to aakhir hum chale aae
kisi farman par hujjat nahin ho pai koshish ki
