jab tujhe yaad karen kar-e-jahan khenchta hai
aur phir ishq wahi koh-e-giran khenchta hai

kisi dushman ka koi tir na pahuncha mujh tak
dekhna ab ke mera dost kaman khenchta hai

ahd-e-fursat mein kisi yar-e-guzishta ka khayal
jab bhi aata hai to jaise rag-e-jaan khenchta hai

dil ke tukdon ko kahan jod saka hai koi
phir bhi aawaza-e-aina-giran khenchta hai

intiha ishq ki koi na hawas ki koi
dekhna ye hai ki had kaun kahan khenchta hai

khinchte jate hain rasan-basta ghulamon ki tarah
jis taraf qafila-e-umr-e-rawan khenchta hai

hum to rahwar-e-zabun hain wo muqaddar ka sawar
khud hi mahmez kare khud hi inan khenchta hai

rishta-e-tegh-o-gulu ab bhi salamat hai 'faraaz'
ab bhi maqtal ki taraf dil sa jawan khenchta hai
