ye sach hai un mein ye baaten to han hain
bade bad-zan nihayat bad-guman hain

ghalat hai ye wo hum par mehrban hain
kahan apni samajh hai hum kahan hain

na ye puchhen na aae hijr mein maut
khuda bhula hai but na-mehrban hain

nahin uthte hain aa kar ghair hargiz
mohabbat mein yahi bar-e-garan hain

subut-e-ishq hai lab khushk sard aah
chhupaen kya ki ye sab to ayan hain

na puchho be-khudi-e-ishq hum se
khabar bhi kuchh nahin hai hum kahan hain

wo kuchh samjhen suna den haal-e-dil to
yahi na wo nihayat bad-guman hain

jab aaya nawak-e-qatil su-e-dil
jigar hi bol uttha hum yahan hain

abhi ukta gae tum hazrat-e-dil
mohabbat mein hazaron imtihan hain

hamein bahla ke rahte hain gham-o-ranj
yahi furqat mein goya mehrban hain

na kyon rashk aae bakht-e-muddai par
ki wo us par bahut hi mehrban hain

karen kis tarah chahat un ki hum kam
abhi nam-e-khuda wo naujawan hain

kabhi kar di thi zahir khwahish-e-wasl
jabhi se to bahut wo bad-guman hain

hasinon mein nahin koi burai
magar ek aib ye hai bad-zaban hain

na kyon lutf aae ab un ke sitam mein
suna hai wo sharik-e-asman hain

kahe dete hain ab dil ko sambhaalo
ki hum aamada-e-ah-o-fughan hain

samajhte hain hamein aur ghair ko ek
hamare aap achchhe qadr-dan hain

zara thahro jo aae ho dam-e-naza
ki ab hum koi dam ke mehman hain

'fahim' itna hi kya kam hai hamein fakhr
suno ahl-e-zaban shirin-zaban hain
