kya ishq hai jab ho jaega tab baat samajh mein aaegi
jab zehn ko dil samjhaega tab baat samajh mein aaegi

pal mein khush pal mein ranjida aae na samajh mein baat hai kya
dil khil khil kar murjhaega tab baat samajh mein aaegi

gum-sum rahne ka kya hai sabab hansta hai akele mein koi kab
jab koi dil ko churaega tab baat samajh mein aaegi

main auron ko samjhata tha ai ishq mujhe malum na tha
jab kuchh na samajh mein aaega tab baat samajh mein aaegi

kya aafat dil ka aana hai be-sud abhi samjhana hai
dil tadpega tadpaega tab baat samajh mein aaegi

chhup-chhup kar dil kyon rota hai kya aalam-e-wahshat hota hai
rah-rah kar ji ghabraega tab baat samajh mein aaegi

kya shai hai mohabbat ki khushbu aata hai nazar koi kyon har su
aankhon mein koi bas jaega tab baat samajh mein aaegi

'raghib' mat puchh hai raghbat kya izhaar mohabbat kya hai bala
ek lafz na munh tak aaega tab baat samajh mein aaegi
