kab talak hum ko na aawega nazar dekhen to
kaise tarsata hai ye dida-e-tar dekhen to

ishq mein us ke ki guzre hain sar o jaan se hum
apni kis taur se hoti hai guzar dekhen to

kar ke wo jaur-o-sitam hans ke laga ye kahne
aah o afghan ka teri hum bhi asar dekhen to

sabr ho sakta hai kab hum se wale maslahatan
aazmaish dil-e-betab ki kar dekhen to

dhab chadhe ho mere tum aaj hi to muddat baad
jaenge aap kahan aur kidhar dekhen to

kis dileri se kare hai tu fida jaan us par
dil-e-jaan-baz tera hum bhi hunar dekhen to

kya majal apni jo kuchh kah saken hum tujh se aur
tujh ko bhar kar nazar ai shokh pisar dekhen to

ho chalin khira to akhtar-shumari se aankhen
shab hamari bhi kabhi hogi sahar dekhen to

ishq ke sadme uthane nahin aasan 'hasrat'
kar sake koi hamara sa jigar dekhen to
