yaad aisa koi aaya hai ki ji jaanta hai
is qadar dil ko dukhaya hai ki ji jaanta hai

ishq yun jaan ko aaya hai ki ji jaanta hai
roz-o-shab aisa rulaya hai ki ji jaanta hai

kya mohabbat bhi koi jurm hai is duniya ne
aisa hangama uthaya hai ki ji jaanta hai

ho sakega na masiha se bhi is dil ka ilaj
zakhm wo us ne lagaya hai ki ji jaanta hai

wo mujhe bhul bhi sakta hai ye ummid na thi
is tarah us ne bhulaya hai ki ji jaanta hai

dil hai qabu mein na main apne hi bas mein hun 'payam'
aisa diwana banaya hai ki ji jaanta hai
