baat aisī bhī koī nahīñ ki mohabbat bahut ziyāda hai
lekin ham donoñ se us kī tāqat bahut ziyāda hai

aap ke pīchhe pīchhe phirne se to rahe is umr meñ ham
raah pe aa baiThe haiñ ye bhī ġhanīmat bahut ziyāda hai

ishq udāsī ke paiġhām to laatā rahtā hai din raat
lekin ham ko ḳhush rahne kī aadat bahut ziyāda hai

kaam to kaafī rahtā hai lekin karnā hai kis ne yahāñ
be-shak roz idhar aa niklo fursat bahut ziyāda hai

kyā kuchh ho na sakā ham se aur hone vaalā hai kyā kuchh
hasrat bhī kaafī hai lekin hairat bahut ziyāda hai

sair hī karke aa jā.eñge phir bāzār-e-tamāshā kī
jis shai ko bhī haath lagā.eñ qīmat bahut ziyāda hai

us kī tavajjoh hāsil kī aur biich meñ sab kuchh chhoḌ diyā
hikmat jitnī bhī ho is meñ himāqat bahut zyāda hai

ishq hai kis ko yaad ki ham to Darte hī rahte haiñ sadā
husn vo jaisā bhī hai us kī dahshat bahut zyāda hai

ek chiiz jo apnī rasā.ī se bāhar hai kahīñ 'zafar'
sach pūchho to is kī hameñ zarūrat bahut zyāda hai

baat aisi bhi koi nahin ki mohabbat bahut ziyaada hai
lekin hum donon se us ki taqat bahut ziyaada hai

aap ke pichhe pichhe phirne se to rahe is umr mein hum
rah pe aa baiThe hain ye bhi ghanimat bahut ziyaada hai

ishq udasi ke paigham to lata rahta hai din raat
lekin hum ko KHush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

kaam to kafi rahta hai lekin karna hai kis ne yahan
be-shak roz idhar aa niklo fursat bahut ziyaada hai

kya kuchh ho na saka hum se aur hone wala hai kya kuchh
hasrat bhi kafi hai lekin hairat bahut ziyaada hai

sair hi karke aa jaenge phir bazar-e-tamasha ki
jis shai ko bhi hath lagaen qimat bahut ziyaada hai

us ki tawajjoh hasil ki aur bich mein sab kuchh chhoD diya
hikmat jitni bhi ho is mein himaqat bahut zyaada hai

ishq hai kis ko yaad ki hum to Darte hi rahte hain sada
husn wo jaisa bhi hai us ki dahshat bahut zyaada hai

ek chiz jo apni rasai se bahar hai kahin 'zafar'
sach puchho to is ki hamein zarurat bahut zyaada hai
