ishq mein khud-sari nahin hoti
husn mein bandagi nahin hoti

nawak-afgan bata to de aakhir
dard mein kyun kami nahin hoti

raaz-e-ulfat kahan chhupaen hum
dil se bhi dushmani nahin hoti

wo mohabbat bhi kya mohabbat hai
jis mein diwangi nahin hoti

aah kar ke bhi hum ne dekh liya
soz-e-gham mein kami nahin hoti

mast aankhon hi se pila saqi
jam se be-khudi nahin hoti

jab kabhi samne wo aate hain
hum se ek baat bhi nahin hoti

kya karen aise gham ko hum le kar
jis mein un ki khushi nahin hoti

kaisi taqdir hai hamari 'waqar'
gham hi gham hain khushi nahin hoti
