Ye naa thii hamaarii qismat ke visaal-e-yaar hotaa
agar aur jiite rahate, yahii i.ntazaar hotaa
Tere vaade par jiye ham, to ye jaan jhuuth jaanaa
ke khushii se mar na jaate, agar aitabaar hotaa
Terii naazukii se jaanaa ke ba.ndhaa thaa ahad buudaa
kabhii tuu na to.d sakataa, agar usatavaar hotaa
Koii mere dil se puuchhe, tere tiir-e-niim kash ko
ye khalish kahaa.n se hotii, jo jigar ke paar hotaa
Ye kahaa.n kii dostii hai ke bane hai.n dost naaseh
koii chaaraa saaz hotaa, koii gam gusaar hotaa
Rag-e-sa.ng se tapakataa, vo lahuu ke phir na thamataa
jise gam samajh rahe ho, ye agar sharaar hotaa
Gam agar-che jaa.n gusal hai, par kahaa.n bachai.n ke dil hai
gam-e-ishq gar na hotaa, gam-e-rozagaar hotaa
Kahuu.n kis se mai.n ke kiyaa hai, shab-e-gam burii balaa hai
mujhe kiyaa buraa thaa maran agar aik baar hotaa
Hue mar ke ham jo rusavaa, hue kyuu.n na gharq-e-darayaa
na kabhii janaazaa uthataa, na kahii.n mazaar hotaa
Use kaun dekh sakataa ke, yagaanaa he vo yakataa
jo duii kii buu bhii hotii, to kahii.n do chaar hotaa
Ye masaa-el-e-tasavvuf, ye teraa bean, gaalib
tujhe ham vaalii samajhate, jo na baadah khaar hotaa
