ishq ka hum se nam baqi hai
husn ka ehtiram baqi hai

pine wale to uth gae kab ke
han magar daur-e-jam baqi hai

shauq-e-didar-e-khas khatm hua
talab-e-did-e-am baqi hai

kis ko khasan-e-mai-kada hain yaad
mai-kade hi ka nam baqi hai

bawajud-e-jafa-gari-e-ajal
zindagi ka dawam baqi hai

ruh-e-dair-o-haram se kaam nahin
ehtiram-e-maqam baqi hai

dil mein izzat na jazba-e-ikhlas
rasm-o-rah-e-salam baqi hai

rahrawo ye samajh ke chalte chalo
manzil ab chand gam baqi hai

kis ko parwa-e-nang-o-nam magar
hawas-e-nang-o-nam baqi hai

kuchh to ho shaghl-e-baada-e-gul-rang
kaif-e-gulfam-e-sham baqi hai

jism aazad ho gae lekin
ruh-o-zehn-e-ghulam baqi hai

tere hi dam se kuchh na kuchh 'maghmum'
aabru-e-kalam baqi hai
