jaante ho nahin chalna to yun chalte kyun ho
aaj bhi ghafil-e-manzil ho nikalte kyun ho

wo dilase hi chhalawe hi faqat dete hain
un ki har baat se har bar bahakte kyun ho

jab sambhaala hai jawani mein yun khud ko tanha
aap aa kar ke budhape mein phisalte kyun ho

koi fankar agar shohrat-o-izzat pae
martaba milne pe is nam se jalte kyun hain

tum sitaron mein kabhi taron mein khoe rahte
wahshat-e-dil mein liye ghar se nikalte kyun ho

dil-ruba jaan-e-wafa darta hun nazar-e-bad se
ban sanwar kar yun zamane mein nikalte kyun ho

kaam jo hone hain ho kar hi rahenge sahab
ho ke hairan pareshan nikalte kyun ho

ishq aafat hai bala hai ye qayamat bhi hai
ishq ki aag ke dariya mein utarte kyun ho
