ai dil kise nasib ye taufiq-e-iztirab

milti hai zindagi main ye rahat kabhi kabhi

tere karam se ai alam-e-husn-e-afrin

dil ban gaya hai dost ki khilwat kabhi kabhi

dil ko kahan nasib ye taufiq-e-iztirab

milti hai zindagi main ye rahat kabhi kabhi

josh-e-junun main dard ki tugyaniyon k sath

ashkon main dhal gai teri surat kabhi kabhi

tere qarib rah k bhi dil mutmain na tha

guzri hai mujh pe bhi ye qayamat kabhi kabhi

kuch apna hosh tha na tumhara khayal tha

yun bhi guzar gai shab-e-furqat kabhi kabhi

ai dost ham ne tark-e-muhabbat k bawajud

mahsus ki hai teri zarurat kabhi kabh
