dil pyar ke rishton se mukar bhi nahin jata

dil pyaar ke rishtoñ se mukar bhī nahīñ jaatā

shākī hai magar chhoḌ ke dar bhī nahīñ jaatā

ham kis se kareñ sho.alagī-e-mehr kā shikva

ai abr-e-gurezāñ to Thahar bhī nahīñ jaatā

is shahr-e-anā meñ jo fasādāt na chhiḌte

to pyaar kā ye shauq-e-safar bhī nahīñ jaatā

vo fahm-o-farāsat kā diyā haath meñ le kar

is daur-e-tashaddud se guzar bhī nahīñ jaatā

is ek kī rassī ko agar thaam ke rahte

phir apnī duāoñ kā asar bhī nahīñ jaatā

ye ziist ke lamhe haiñ 'valī' qīmtī hiire

kyuuñ koī baḌā kaam tū kar bhī nahīñ jaatā

dil pyar ke rishton se mukar bhi nahin jata

shaki hai magar chhoD ke dar bhi nahin jata

hum kis se karen shoalagi-e-mehr ka shikwa

ai abr-e-gurezan to Thahar bhi nahin jata

is shahr-e-ana mein jo fasadat na chhiDte

to pyar ka ye shauq-e-safar bhi nahin jata

wo fahm-o-farasat ka diya hath mein le kar

is daur-e-tashaddud se guzar bhi nahin jata

is ek ki rassi ko agar tham ke rahte

phir apni duaon ka asar bhi nahin jata

ye zist ke lamhe hain 'wali' qimti hire

kyun koi baDa kaam tu kar bhi nahin jata
