Uski hasrat hai jise dil se mita bhi na sakoo,
dhundne usko chalaa hoon jise paa bhi naa sakoo.

Mehraban hoke bula lo mujhe chaho jis waqt,
main gaya waqt nahi hoon ki fir aa bhi na sakoo.

Daal kar khak mere khoon qatil ne kaha,
kuchh ye mehndi nahi mere ki chhupa bhi na sakoo.

Joph milta na ye ab yaar ka shikwa kya hai,
baat kuchh sar to nahi hai ki utha bhi na sakoo.

Jabt kambakhat ne aur aa ke galaa bhoonta hai,
ki usse haal sunaoon to suna bhi na sakoo.

Zaher milta hi nahi mujhko sitamgar warna,
kya kasam hai tere milne ki, ki khaa bhi na sakoo.

Uske pahloo mein jo le jaake sula doon dil ko,
neend aise usse aaye ki jaga bhi na sakoo.
