terii khushii se agar Gam meN bhii khushii na huii
voh zindagii to muhabbat kii zindagii na huii
koii baDhe na baDhe ham to jaan dete haiN
phair asii chashm-e-tavajjoh kabhii huii na huii
tamaam harf-o-hikaayat tamaam diida-o-dil
is ehtemaam pe bhii sharaH-e-aashiqii na huii
sabaa yah un se hamaaraa payaam kah denaa
gaye ho jab se yahaaN subah-o-shaam hii na huii
idhar se bhii hai sivaa kuchh udhar kii majbuurii
ki hamne aah to kii unse aah bhii na huii
khayaal-e-yaar salaamat tujhe khudaa rakhe
Tere baGair kabhii ghar meN roshnii na huii
gaye the ham bhii Jigar jalva-gaah-e-jaanaN meN
voh puuchhte hii rahe hamse baat hii na huii
