us ko bhi hum se mohabbat ho zaruri to nahin
ishq hi ishq ki qimat ho zaruri to nahin

ek din aap ki barham-nigahi dekh chuke
roz ek taza qayamat ho zaruri to nahin

meri shamon ko hawaon ne bujhaya hoga
ye bhi un ki hi shararat ho zaruri to nahin

ahl-e-duniya se marasim bhi baratne honge
har nafas sirf ibaadat ho zaruri to nahin

dosti aap se lazim hai magar is ke liye
sari duniya se adawat ho zaruri to nahin

pursish-e-haal ko tum aaoge us waqt mujhe
lab hilane ki bhi taqat ho zaruri to nahin

saikdon dar hain zamane mein gadai ke liye
aap hi ka dar-e-daulat ho zaruri to nahin

bahami rabt mein ranjish bhi maza deti hai
bas mohabbat hi mohabbat ho zaruri to nahin

zulm ke daur se ikrah-e-dili kafi hai
ek khun-rez baghawat ho zaruri to nahin

ek misra bhi jo zinda rahe kafi hai 'saba'
mere har sher ki shohrat ho zaruri to nahin
