diyaa hai dil agar us ko, bashar hai kyaa kahiye

diyaa hai dil agar us ko, bashar hai kyaa kahiye

huaa raqiib to ho, naamaabar hai, kyaa kahiye

ye zid, ki aaj na aave aur aaye bin na rahe

qazaa se shikavaa hamen kis qadar hai, kyaa kahiye

rahe hai yuun gah-o-begah ke kuu-e-dost ko ab

agar na kahiye ki dushman kaa ghar hai, kyaa kahiye

zih-e-karishma ke yuun de rakhaa hai hamako fareb

ki bin kahe hii unhen sab khabar hai, kyaa kahiye

samajh ke karate hain baazaar men vo pursish-e-haal

ki ye kahe ki sar-e-rahaguzar hai, kyaa kahiye

tumhen nahiin hai sar-e-rishtaa-e-vafaa kaa khayaal

hamaare haath men kuchh hai, magar hai kyaa kahiye

unhen savaal pe zaom-e-junuun hai, kyuun ladiye

hamen javaab se qata-e-nazar hai, kyaa kahiye

hasad sazaa-e-kamaal-e-sukhan hai, kyaa kiije

sitam, bahaa-e-mataa-e-hunar hai, kyaa kahiye

kahaa hai kisane ki "ghalib" buraa nahiin lekin

sivaay isake ki aashuftaasar hai kyaa kahiye
