Ye nahi k meri mohabbaton ko kabhi kharaaj nahi mila

Ye nahi k meri mohabbaton ko kabhi kharaaj nahi mila,
magar ittefaaq ki baat hai, koi hum-mizaaj nahi mila,

mujhe aisa baagh nahi mila, jahan gul hon meri pasand k,
jahaan zinda rehne ka shoq ho mujhe wo samaaj nahi mila,

kisi dastaan qadeem main, mere do chiraagh bhi dafan hain,
main wo shahzada bakht houn jise takht-o-taaj nahi mila,

main aik aisi mout houn jis k sog main kaam band nahi howe,
koi shor-e-girya nahi uthha kahin ehtejaj nahi mila,

koi aas ho koi ummeed ho kahin us ki koi naveed ho,
kayi din howe mera khush-khabar mera khush-mizaj nahi mila,

teri guftugo main nahi mili wo mithhaas pyaar k shahed ki,
so, qaraar jesa qaraar bhi mere dil ko nahi mila...!!!
