Jo kuchh hua so hua ab sawal hi kya hai

jo kuchh hua so hua ab sawal hi kya hai
bayan haal karun mujh mein haal hi kya hai

kuchh aur chahti hai un se shorish-e-ulfat
hua KHayal to aisa KHayal hi kya hai

zamana chahiye wo e'tiraf-e-shauq karen
abhi ye roz o shab o mah o sal hi kya hai

kisi KHayal mein bas zindagi guzar jae
gham-e-firaq o ummid-e-visal hi kya hai

bura kiya na karenge kabhi sitam ka gila
huzur dur hi kar den malal hi kya hai

qarar dil ko mayassar nahin kahin jao
nazar-farebi-e-husn-o-jamal hi kya hai

wo samne hain magar husn is ko kahte hain
koi nazar to uThae majal hi kya hai

baDa kamal kiya bhi to chhu liya daman
daraaz-dasti-e-dast-e-sawal hi kya hai

hue wo hum se pashiman 'suha' karam un ka
wagarna aarzu-e-paemal hi kya hai
