ye raaz koi jaanne wala bhi nahin hai
suraj ki wirasat mein ujala bhi nahin hai

sau raste kamane ke nazar aate hain lekin
khane ke liye ek niwala bhi nahin hai

lab nam tera lene se katrane lage hain
haalanki tujhe dil se nikala bhi nahin hai

kyon surkh hua hai ye falak aaj sar-e-sham
main ne to lahu apna uchhaala bhi nahin hai

wo lafz hun main jo na ada ho saka 'hafiz'
wo baat hun main jis ka hawala bhi nahin hai
