ranj-o-alam se mohabbat hai
sai-e-nakaam se mohabbat hai

zindagi-bhar na ho sahar jis ki
hum ko us sham se mohabbat hai

kya khatar gardish-e-falak se hamein
gardish-e-jam se mohabbat hai

baada sahba sharab se darad
aise har nam se mohabbat hai

baada-o-jam se mohabbat thi
baada-o-jam se mohabbat hai

har ghadi dil mein yaad hai un ki
bas usi nam se mohabbat hai

un mein shan-e-khuda hai jalwa-fagan
hum ko asnam se mohabbat hai

dushman-e-jaan hai ye mohabbat bhi
said ko dam se mohabbat hai

qadr-e-isar kya wo samjhenge
jin ko anjam se mohabbat hai

us ki tashrih kya ho ai 'sahir'
dard-e-be-nam se mohabbat hai
