shab-e-wasl kyon hain rulane ki baaten
karo kuchh to hansne hansane ki baaten

dil-e-na-tawan ko manane ki baaten
nahin hain nahin hath aane ki baaten

munasib hai kuchh intizam-e-masarrat
pilao pilao sharab-e-mohabbat

tumhi kah do kuchh had hai zulm-o-jafa ki
wafa ki tarah sari duniya hai shaki

kabhi ye ada ki kabhi wo ada ki
rahi shakl abtar dil-e-mubtala ki

nahin hain nahin hain mohabbat ki baaten
haqiqat mein ye hain adawat ki baaten
