main pas-e-tark-e-mohabbat kisi mushkil mein nahin
dil bhi pahlu mein nahin dard bhi ab dil mein nahin

bul-hawas chal diye sab jaan bacha kar apni
sirf qatil hai koi kucha-e-qatil mein nahin

waqt marne ka jo aaega to mar jaunga
mere nazdik ye mushkil koi mushkil mein nahin

dub kar par utarte hain utarne wale
qar-e-dariya ka maza daman-e-sahil mein nahin

bas wahi qahr-o-ghazab bas wahi aazar-e-sitam
lutf ki baat koi aap ki mahfil mein nahin

bhej kar khat unhen bulwaen muhibban-e-sukhan
kuchh bhi mahfil mein nahin 'nuh' jo mahfil mein nahin
