jahan-e-arzu aawaz hi aawaz hota hai
badi mushkil se ehsas-e-shikast-e-saz hota hai

hamein kya aap anjam-e-mohabbat se daraate hain
hamare khun se har daur ka aaghaz hota hai

qafas hai dam hai bhadki hui hai aatish-e-gul bhi
isi mahaul mein andaza-e-parwaz hota hai

pighal jati hain zanjiren sulag uthti hain diwaren
lab-e-khamosh mein wo shola-e-awaz hota hai

mohabbat ki haqiqat khul gai chaak-e-gireban se
junun bhi ek manzil mein zamana-saz hota hai

hamin par munhasir hai raunaq-e-bazm-e-jahan 'qabil'
koi naghma ho apna hi rahin-e-saz hota hai
