ik lafz-e-muhabbat ka adana sa fasaana hai
simate to dil-e-aashiq, faile to zamaana hai

ham ishq ke maaron ka itana hi fasaana hai
rone ko nahin koi hansane ko zamaana hai

ye ishq nahin aasaan, bas itana samajh lije
ek aag ka dariya hai aur duub ke jaana hai

vo husn-o-jamaal un ka, ye ishq-o-shabaab apana
jine ki tamanna hai, marane ka zamaana hai

ashqon ke tabassum mein, aahon ke tarannum mein
maasuum muhabbat ka maasuum fasaana hai

kya husn ne samajha hai, kya ishq ne jaana hai
ham kaak-nashinon ki, thokar mein zamaana hai

ya vo the kafa ham se ya ham the kafa un se
kal un ka zamaana tha, aaj apana zamaana hai

aansu to bahut se hain aankhon mein ' eks'  lekin
bah jaayein to mita hain, rah jaayein to daana hai

hai ishq-e-junoon pesha, haan ishq-e-junoon pesha
ek sitamagar ko aaj, hans hans ke rulaana hai
