tamashai to hain tamasha nahin hai
gira hai wo parda ki uthta nahin hai

ye kis ki nazar de gai rog ya-rab
sambhaale se ab dil sambhalta nahin hai

tadap jaiyega tadap jaiyega
tadapna hamara tamasha nahin hai

bahut phans nikli bahut khar nikle
magar dil ka kanta nikalta nahin hai

ye har shakhs ki lan-tarani hai kaisi
ki har aankh to chashm-e-musa nahin hai

salamat meri wahshat-e-dil salamat
kahan meri wahshat ka charcha nahin hai

meri jaan bhi hai inayat tumhaari
ye dil bhi tumhaara hai mera nahin hai

bulai gai un ki mahfil mein duniya
magar ek mera bulawa nahin hai

zara aap samjhaiye dil ko naseh
main samjha raha hun samajhta nahin hai

tumhein dekhne ko tarasti hain aankhen
bahut din hue tum ko dekha nahin hai
