ye bata mujhe tera ham-safar nahin hai kya
koi bhi zamane mein mo'atabar nahin hai kya

chand roz rahna hai phir yahan se jaana hai
zindagi to hai lekin mukhtasar nahin hai kya

jo hamari chaukhat par aaj tak nahin baitha
ye bataiye hum ko dar-ba-dar nahin hai kya

mat sunao tum us ko haal-e-dil mera koi
wo meri mohabbat se ba-khabar nahin hai kya

us pari ke sine mein dil nahin hai patthar hai
meri har sada-e-dil be-asar nahin hai kya

ishq ka hai gar dawa le ke aa hatheli par
sar-buland hone ko tera sar nahin hai kya

dil ko dene walon se pochhiye sharar 'naqwi'
pyar-wyar ye sab kuchh dard-e-sar nahin hai kya
