jo surat ishq ki paida na karta
to koi husn ki puja na karta

mohabbat ka kabhi sauda na karta
zamana aap ko ruswa na karta

firaq-e-did mein tadpa na karta
to dil duniya-e-gham paida na karta

buton ke ishq mein ruswa na karta
khuda kuchh aur karta ya na karta

agar ehsan ko bhula na karta
bashar duniya ka munh kala na karta

tumhaare aariz-e-rangin ke hote
hasinon ki koi parwa na karta

surur-e-dil agar hota haqiqi
qayamat nit-nai barpa na karta

bil-akhir hum ne tum par jaan de di
ye aalam tha ki marta kya na karta

agar saqi ki aankhon mein khatakta
to baada-khwar ki parwa na karta

jo hota hosh mujh ko be-khudi mein
wafa ke raaz ko ifsha na karta

ghani rahta na dil jo aashiqi se
to shayad husn ko tola na karta

udhar tum be-rukhi par 'shad' rahte
idhar main dil kabhi maila na karta
