dil ko har lamha bachate rahe jazbaat se hum

dil ko har lamha bachāte rahe jazbāt se ham

itne majbūr rahe haiñ kabhī hālāt se ham

nashsha-e-mai se kahīñ pyaas bujhī hai dil kī

tishnagī aur baḌhā laa.e ḳharājāt se ham

aaj to mil ke bhī jaise na mile hoñ tujh se

chauñk uThte the kabhī terī mulāqāt se ham

ishq meñ aaj bhī hai nīm-nigāhī kā chalan

pyaar karte haiñ usī husn-e-rivāyāt se ham

markaz-e-dīda-e-ḳhūbān-e-jahāñ haiñ bhī to kyā

ek nisbat bhī to rakhte haiñ tirī zaat se ham

dil ko har lamha bachate rahe jazbaat se hum

itne majbur rahe hain kabhi haalat se hum

nashsha-e-mai se kahin pyas bujhi hai dil ki

tishnagi aur baDha lae KHarajat se hum

aaj to mil ke bhi jaise na mile hon tujh se

chaunk uThte the kabhi teri mulaqat se hum

ishq mein aaj bhi hai nim-nigahi ka chalan

pyar karte hain usi husn-e-riwayat se hum

markaz-e-dida-e-KHuban-e-jahan hain bhi to kya

ek nisbat bhi to rakhte hain teri zat se hum
