kis tarah pyas ko pani se alag rakkha jae
mauj-e-dariya ko rawani se alag rakkha jae

ab mera zikr kiya jae kisi aur tarah
mujh ko ab meri kahani se alag rakkha jae

warna ho jaegi ab is se mohabbat mujh ko
mujh ko is dushman-e-jaani se alag rakkha jae

kaise raja ke faraez ko kiya jae kam
kaise tanhai ko rani se alag rakkha jae

tab hi khul paega maqsad meri in baaton ka
gar inhen lafz-o-maani se alag rakkha jae

ishq is umr mein hota hai junun-khez bahut
ishq ko ahd-e-jawani se alag rakkha jae
