dil na-umeed to nahin naakaam hi to hai lambi hai gham ki shaam magar shaam hi to hai

agar tum ho to ghabraane ki koi baat thodii hai zara si boonda-baan dii hai bahut barsaat thodii hai ye raah-e-ishq hai is men qadam aise hi uthte hain mohabbat sochne waalon ke bas ki baat thodii hai

vo ladkar bhi so jaa.e to uskaa maatha choomun main usse mohabbat ek taraf hai usse jhagda ek taraf

ham apni jaan ke dushman ko apni jaan kahte hain mohabbat ki isee miTTi ko hindustan kahte hain

tum mohabbat ko khel kahte ho ham ne barbaad zindagi kar li

rang jab bankar gawaah aaya teri taaseer ka maine ye aalam bhi dekha hai teri tasveer ka

masheenen duniya-bhar ki bhi laga do chahe tum uske dil ka rastaa naiiñ banaa paoge

jitni dafa use meri yaad aati hogii utni dafa ghazal meri gungunaati hogii

sabko hi hai takleef kisi na kisi se to takleef ko bilkul nahin takleef kisi se

mere haathon se teraa haath ik pal chhoot jaata hai mujhe akshar dara kar ke ye sapna toot jaata hai yahaañ maanjha lipatne men lage rahte sabhi apna koi chupke se aa kar ke patange loot jaata hai
