sifarish ki zarurat hi na hoti
nawazish ki zarurat hi na hoti

agar aata hamein haq chhin lena
guzarish ki zarurat hi na hoti

agar sukhe kuen shabnam se bharte
to barish ki zarurat hi na hoti

nahin aate agar duniya mein hum to
rihaish ki zarurat hi na hoti

hasinon ka jo hota husn sada
numaish ki zarurat hi na hoti

agar hota na shauq-e-khud-sanai
sataish ki zarurat hi na hoti

siyasat-dan jo tabi maut marte
to sazish ki zarurat hi na hoti

agar tum 'khwah-makhwah' karte qanaat
to khwahish ki zarurat hi na hoti
