is qadar gham hai ki izhaar nahin kar sakte
ye wo dariya hai jise par nahin kar sakte

aap chahen to karen dard ko dil se mashrut
hum to is tarah ka bewpar nahin kar sakte

jaan jati hai to jae magar ai dushman-e-jaan
hum kabhi tujh pe koi war nahin kar sakte

jitni ruswai mili aap ki nisbat se mili
aap is baat se inkar nahin kar sakte

aap kar sakte hain khushbu ko saba se mahrum
aur kuchh sahab-e-kirdar nahin kar sakte

ek zanjir si palkon se bandhi rahti hai
phir bhi ek dasht ko gulzar nahin kar sakte

ye gul-e-dard hai is ko to mahakna hai huzur
aap khushbu ko giraftar nahin kar sakte
