Kya ye bhi zindagi hai ki rahat kabhi na ho

kya ye bhi zindagi hai ki rahat kabhi na ho

aisi bhi to kisi se mohabbat kabhi na ho

wada zarur karte hain aate nahi kabhi

phir ye bhi chahate hain shikayat kabhi na ho

sham-e-visal bhi ye tagaful ye berukhi

teri raza hai mujhko masarrat kabhi na ho

ahabab ne diye hain mujhe kis tarah fareb

mujhasa bhi koi sada tabiyat kabhi na ho

lab to ye kah rahe hain ke uth, badh ke choom le

aankhon ka ye ishara ke jurr’at kabhi na ho

dil chahata hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din

mujhko to tere khayal se fursat kabhi na ho
