kisi surat muqaddar se pareshani nahin jati
haqiqat wo haqiqat hai ki jo jaani nahin jati

adu ki laghw-goi ne kuchh aisa kar diya barham
hamari saf-sidhi baat bhi mani nahin jati

hamara raaz-e-dil hi kya wo tum par aashkara hai
haqiqat aap ke dil ki magar jaani nahin jati

sar-e-maqtal tadapta dekh kar wo tilmila utthe
sitam ke baad ab un ki pashemani nahin jati

kisi aashiq ke dil se puchhiye sar-garmi-e-ulfat
hazaron mushkilen hon phir bhi jaulani nahin jati

junun-e-ishq-e-kaamil mein ye parwane ki aadat hai
subut-e-ishq-e-kaamil ki wo qurbani nahin jati

jo surat koi bahr-e-ishq mein aai nazar hum ko
kuchh aisi maskh ho jati hai pahchani nahin jati

hamari quwwat-e-bardasht ki parwah kya un ko
sitam karne ki aadat hai sitam-rani nahin jati

are 'gham' mushkilen to ishq ki rahon mein hain lekin
hai in mein kaun kitni sakht gardani nahin jati
