raaz-e-dil aashkar hota hai
aadmi sharmsar hota hai

jis pe un ki nigah hoti hai
sahab-e-eqtidar hota hai

phul daman ko chaak karte hain
jab bhi ahd-e-bahaar hota hai

dil mein arman jab nahin hote
hasraton ka mazar hota hai

us ki rahmat ko pyar aata hai
jab koi sharmsar hota hai

manzil-e-ishq tai jo karta hai
banda-e-kirdgar hota hai

yaad aati hai jab kabhi un ki
har-nafas be-qarar hota hai

un ke chehre ko dekh kar 'rahi'
dil pe kab ikhtiyar hota hai
