mohabbat mein na jaan ko jaan na dil ko dil samajhte hain
use aasan banate hain jise mushkil samajhte hain

hum apni zindagani ki taghayyur-khez rahon ko
kabhi jada samajhte hain kabhi manzil samajhte hain

hamara maqsad-e-awwal hai jazb-e-shauq-o-sar-masti
yahi wo zindagi hai jis ko hum kaamil samajhte hain

tu apne dil ki kamzori ko samjha hai na samjhega
wahi mushkil mein hain mushkil ko jo mushkil samajhte hain

'kalim' ahl-e-takallum ki subuk baaton se kyun uljhen
hum apni zindagi ko sahl ya mushkil samajhte hain
