ishq mein shikwa kufr hai aur har iltija haram
tod de kasa-e-murad ishq gadagari nahin

ek tarz-e-taghaful hai so wo un ko mubarak
ek arz-e-tamanna hai so hum karte rahenge

aao mil jao ki ye waqt na paoge kabhi
main bhi ham-rah zamane ke badal jaunga

tumhein jab kabhi milen fursaten mere dil se bojh utar do
main bahut dinon se udas hun mujhe koi sham udhaar do
mujhe apne rup ki dhup do ki chamak saken mere khal-o-khad
mujhe apne rang mein rang do mere sare rang utar do
kisi aur ko mere haal se na gharaz hai koi na wasta
main bikhar gaya hun samet lo main bigad gaya hun sanwar do

sanwar nok-palak abruon mein kham kar de
gire pade hue lafzon ko mohtaram kar de
ghurur us pe bahut sajta hai magar kah do
isi mein us ka bhala hai ghurur kam kar de
yahan libas ki qimat hai aadmi ki nahin
mujhe gilas bade de sharab kam kar de
chamakne wali hai tahrir meri qismat ki
koi charagh ki lau ko zara sa kam kar de
kisi ne chum ke aankhon ko ye dua di thi
zamin teri khuda motiyon se nam kar de

ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhane ke liye aa
aa phir se mujhe chhod ke jaane ke liye aa
even if you are annoyed come just to give me pain
come even if you have to then leave me yet again
kuchh to mere pindar-e-mohabbat ka bharam rakh
tu bhi to kabhi mujh ko manane ke liye aa
the notion of my love's self-pride please do pacify
you should surely come one day and try to mollify
pahle se marasim na sahi phir bhi kabhi to
rasm-o-rah-e-duniya hi nibhane ke liye aa
even tho no longer close we are as used to be
come even if it's purely for sake of formality
kis kis ko bataenge judai ka sabab hum
tu mujh se khafa hai to zamane ke liye aa
the reason for our parting to whom should i relate
if cross with methen come and to the world narrate
ek umr se hun lazzat-e-girya se bhi mahrum
ai rahat-e-jaan mujh ko rulane ke liye aa
a lifetime have i missed the joy of tearful ecstasy
life's comfort thus to make me cry, you should come to me
ab tak dil-e-khush-fahm ko tujh se hain ummiden
ye aakhiri shamen bhi bujhane ke liye aa
my heart is optimistic yet, its hopes are still alive
come to snuff it out, let not this final flame survive
