wo naqab-e-rukh utha kar kabhi baam tak na pahunche
wo karam bhi kya karam hai jo awam tak na pahunche

ye shabab ek bala hai meri tujh se iltija hai
dil-e-zar koi tohmat mere nam tak na pahunche

meri har khushi hai ai dil mere gham ki ek nishani
wo sahar sahar nahin hai ki jo sham tak na pahunche

wo tuyur khak samjhe par-o-baal ki haqiqat
jo nikal kar aashiyan se kabhi dam tak na pahunche

tere pasban ko mujh se koi khas hai adawat
main payam tujh ko bhejun to salam tak na pahunche

tujhe murgh-e-dil mubarak ye talash-e-dana lekin
ye talash rafta rafta kahin dam tak na pahunche

rahe kyon na un se shikwa mujhe kam-nigahiyon ka
mera khat padha bhi lekin mere nam tak na pahunche

ye hai raaz-e-ishq 'sahir' ise kyon chhupa rahe ho
ye wo baat hi nahin hai jo awam tak na pahunche
