kabhi to dekh dard-e-dil kisi ka
kabhi to haal sun ghafil kisi ka

saba kar de meri hajat-rawai
utha de parda-e-mahmil kisi ka

rahe nakaam sab ai hazrat-e-ishq
hua kab muddaa hasil kisi ka

shakeb-o-sabr phir jata raha hai
hua hai phir ye dil mail kisi ka

kamar bandhi hai bedad-o-sitam par
tujhe kab pas hai qatil kisi ka

zamana kya bura aaya hai ya-rab
kisi ke hath mein hai dil kisi ka

ada-o-naz-o-shokhi se shab-e-wasl
bigadna yaad hai ai dil kisi ka

tamasha dekh lo tum bhi to aa kar
tadapta hai dil-e-bismil kisi ka

bandha rahta hai tera hi tasawwur
bahalta hai isi mein dil kisi ka

pahunch jata hai wo manzil ko ai 'lutf'
agar ustad ho kaamil kisi ka
