sikhaya aql ne barson hamein ilm-o-hunar sab kuchh
jo socha to junun hi tha junun se beshtar sab kuchh

agar ek tu nahin to mere qabze mein nahin kuchh bhi
agar tu hai to hai pokhraj aur lal aur guhar sab kuchh

nazar aaya hamein asli thikana muddaa asli
jab aankhen band kar lin nek aur bad dekh kar sab kuchh

mera sar phodna rona tadapna ghash pe ghash aana
bata dena zabani bhi unhen ai nama-bar sab kuchh

mohabbat hai to phir sabr-o-sukun hosh-o-khirad kya hain
lutae ja tu is maidan mein ai sahib-nazar sab kuchh

hua jo kuchh tha mere pas nazr-e-khana-virani
dil-e-mohkam dimagh-e-ala-tar sangin jigar sab kuchh

mata-e-ranj-o-gham ganjina-ha-e-hasrat-o-hirman
mohabbat mein bhala kya kuchh nahin hai mere ghar sab kuchh

mata-e-husn se ek zarra wo 'nayab' agar de de
utha dun shash-jihat na aasman shams-o-qamar sab kuchh
