ru-e-zeba ko dikhate hain chale jate hain
kyun nazar mujh se milate hain chale jate hain

hasrat-e-dil meri rah jati hai dil hi mein mere
farz kya aise nibhate hain chale jate hain

aap se aisi tawaqqoa na kabhi thi mujh ko
sham-e-ummid bujhate hain chale jate hain

kuchh to aadab-e-mohabbat ka karen pas-o-lihaz
kya yunhi dil ko lagate hain chale jate hain

chaaragar hain to karen aa ke meri chaaragari
dard-e-dil aur badhate hain chale jate hain

haar hi haar ho jaise meri qismat mein likhi
jit ka jashn manate hain chale jate hain

tursh-rui kabhi hoti nahin itni achchhi
aate hi rang jamate hain chale jate hain

yunhi ghut ghut ke marun hijr mein kab tak un ke
maut wo meri bulate hain chale jate hain

de ke darwaza-e-dil par mere aksar dastak
nind raaton ki udate hain chale jate hain

aap ka kya hai jalenge to jalenge hum log
aap to aag lagate hain chale jate hain

raushni aap ka darkar hai shayad us se
khana-e-dil ko jalate hain chale jate hain

aap ko dil hai milana to milaen ba-khushi
dur se hath milate hain chale jate hain

is se behtar tha ki aate na abhi mere pas
aap kuchh der ko aate hain chale jate hain

aap se dil ko lagana hai saza mere liye
khun-e-dil mera jalate hain chale jate hain

kijiye kuchh to mohabbat ka meri pas-o-lihaz
kya isi tarah se aate hain chale jate hain

aap ka farz hai apni kahin meri bhi sunen
haal-e-dil apna sunate hain chale jate hain

aap se kis ne kaha tha ki abhi aa jaen
aa ke 'barqi' ko satate hain chale jate hain
