husn ki dilkashi nahin jati
aankh ki tishnagi nahin jati

aap ki sadgi nahin jati
is liye dilkashi nahin jati

teri zulfon ke pech-o-kham tauba
meri diwangi nahin jati

baat kya hai mere nasheman se
barq ki dushmani nahin jati

takhta-e-dar ho ki qaid-e-rasan
ishq ki khud-sari nahin jati

khwah ruswa sahi zamane mein
azmat-e-ashiqi nahin jati

husn ki chashm-e-mai-chakan tauba
khwahish-e-mai-kashi nahin jati

baat dil ki na puchhiye 'akhtar'
baat dil ki kahi nahin jati
