jo baat tuz mein hai, teree tasaweer mein nahee

rangon mein teraa aks dhalaa, too naa dhal sakee
saanson kee aanch  jism kee khushaboo naa dhal sakee
tuz mein jo loch hai, meree tahareer mein nahee

bejaan husn mein kahaa, raftaar kee adaa
inkaar kee adaa hai, naa ikaraar kee adaa
koee lachak bhee julf-ye-girahagir mein nahee

duniyaan mein koee cheej naheen hain teree tarah
fir yek baar saamane aajaa kisee tarah
kyaa aaur yek zalak meree takadeer mein nahee
