ye to nahin ki tum se mohabbat nahin mujhe
itna zarur hai ki shikayat nahin mujhe

main hun ki ishtiyaq mein sar-ta-qadam nazar
wo hain ki ek nazar ki ijazat nahin mujhe

aazadi-e-gunah ki hasrat ke sath sath
aazadi-e-khayal ki jurat nahin mujhe

dubhar hai garche jaur-e-azizan se zindagi
lekin khuda-gawah shikayat nahin mujhe

jis ka gurez shart ho taqrib-e-did mein
is hosh is nazar ki zarurat nahin mujhe

jo kuchh guzar rahi hai ghanimat hai ham-nashin
ab zindagi pe ghaur ki fursat nahin mujhe

main kyun kisi ke ahd-e-wafa ka yaqin karun
itni shadid gham ki zarurat nahin mujhe

sajde mere khayal-e-jaza se hain mawara
maqsud bandagi se tijarat nahin mujhe

main aur de sakun na tere gham ko zindagi
aisi to zindagi se mohabbat nahin mujhe

'ehsan' kaun mujh se siwa hai mera adu
apne siwa kisi se shikayat nahin mujhe
