mushkil hai pata chalna qisson se mohabbat ka
andaza musibat mein hota hai musibat ka

hai naza ke aalam mein bimar mohabbat ka
mushkil hai sambhalna ab bigdi hui haalat ka

afsos ki hum so kar jage bhi to kab jage
marne pe khula uqda jine ki haqiqat ka

wo aae hain khud apne diwane ko samjhane
ai jazba-e-dil dekha iqbaal mohabbat ka

ai chashm-e-haqiqat-bin dil ki hai bisat itni
ek chhota sa tukda hai aaina-e-hasrat ka

kyun ishq ke jhagde ko le jata hai uqba mein
kar khatma duniya mein duniya ki musibat ka

ai 'qadr' hasinon ko main dil se na kyun chahun
jab husn-parasti bhi ek zauq hai fitrat ka
