wafa chahta tha jafa chahta hun
main kya chahta tha main kya chahta hun

wafur-e-alam se hai ye haal mera
abhi ashk ban kar baha chahta hun

nahin mujh ko malum khud apni khwahish
tumhein kya bataun main kya chahta hun

mujhe ja-ba-ja apne jalwe dikhao
tumhein har jagah dekhna chahta hun

koi meri is sada-lauhi ko dekhe
gham-e-ishq ki main dawa chahta hun

mile hain zamane ke sab aish mujh ko
khuda jaane main aur kya chahta hun

badha ja raha hun kahan se kahan tak
khuda-e-do-alam hua chahta hun

bahar-haal main shukr karta hun tera
bahar-haal teri raza chahta hun

tumhin se tha jab mera har khwab rangin
wahi ishq ki ibtida chahta hun

gham-e-ishq hi hai meri shart-e-hasti
gham-e-ishq had se siwa chahta hun

na hai dard-e-dil ki dawa koi 'shaida'
na main dard-e-dil ki dawa chahta hun
