kabhi jhidki se kabhi pyar se samjhate rahe
hum gai raat pe dil ko liye bahlate rahe

apne akhlaq ki shohrat ne ajab din dikhlae
wo bhi aate rahe ahbab bhi sath aate rahe

hum ne to lut ke mohabbat ki riwayat rakh li
un se to pochhiye wo kis liye pachhtate rahe

us ke to nam se wabasta hai kaliyon ka gudaz
aansuo tum se to patthar bhi pighal jate rahe

yun to na-ahlon ke pine pe jigar katta tha
hum bhi paimane ko paimane se takraate rahe

un ki ye waz-e-qadimana bhi allah allah!
pahle ehsan kiya baad ko sharmate rahe

yun kise milti hai mamul se fursat lekin
hum to is lutf-e-gham-e-yar se bhi jate rahe
