kahte hain rahguzar hai teri dil kahen jise
phir kaun sa maqam hai manzil kahen jise

is jalwa-gah-e-dahr mein ek jalwa bhi nahin
mere mazaq-e-did ke qabil kahen jise

kaisi bahaar-e-lala-o-gul kaise mehr-o-mah
aisa hai kaun tera muqabil kahen jise

yun to sabhi hain dard-e-mohabbat se faiz-yab
dil hum usi ko samjhenge wo dil kahen jise

hoga wo koi aur yaqinan wo tum nahin
haal-e-tabah se mere ghafil kahen jise

nakaam hasraton ne use aur di jila
wo dagh-e-yaadgar gham-e-dil kahen jise

han tum wafa-parast ho dil se mujhe qubul
wo to kaho wo kaun hai qatil kahen jise

taraj-e-gham se dil bhi to viran ho chuka
kahiye kahan hai aap ki manzil kahen jise
