mere wajud ki qaem asas rahne de
zamin ke jism pe koi libas rahne de

meri tamam khushi khush-dili se le ja tu
jo tere gham hain wo sab mere pas rahne de

mujhe to pina hai aankhon se teri ji-bhar kar
tu mere samne khali gilas rahne de

kabhi kabhi mujhe tanhaiyon mein chhod bhi de
kabhi kabhi to mujhe bhi udas rahne de

ye talkh lahja tera dil ko kar na de ghayal
zaban-o-lab pe zara si mithas rahne de

main tujh se dur bahut ho ke ji na paunga
tujhe qasam hai mujhe apne pas rahne de

tu meri pyas ki shiddat bujha nahin sakti
ai chashm-e-mast mere lab ki pyas rahne de

ta'alluqat na kar tark apne 'shadan' se
kabhi-kabhaar to milne ki aas rahne de
