ba-pās-e-dil jise apne laboñ se bhī chhupāyā thā — Qateel Shifai

maanā jīvan meñ aurat ik baar mohabbat kartī hai
lekin mujh ko ye to batā de kyā tū aurat zaat nahīñ

kis tarah apnī mohabbat kī maiñ takmīl karūñ
ġham-e-hastī bhī to shāmil hai ġham-e-yār ke saath

añgḌā.ī par añgḌā.ī letī hai raat judā.ī kī
tum kyā samjho tum kyā jaano baat mirī tanhā.ī kī

raqs karne kā milā hukm jo dariyāoñ meñ
ham ne ḳhush ho ke bhañvar bāñdh liyā paañv meñ

subūt-e-ishq kī ye bhī to ek sūrat hai
ki jis se pyaar kareñ us pe tohmateñ bhī dhareñ

rahegā saath tirā pyaar zindagī ban kar
ye aur baat mirī zindagī vafā na kare

Dil dhoondta hai phir wahi fursat-e-shab-o-roz
Naaz uthana, naaz uthana, naaz uthana

ranjish hī sahī dil hī dukhāne ke liye aa
aa phir se mujhe chhoḌ ke jaane ke liye aa

maiñ bhī ruk ruk ke na martā jo zabāñ ke badle
dashna ik tez sā hotā mire ġham-ḳhvār ke paas

dost-dār-e-dushman hai e'timād-e-dil ma.alūm
aah be-asar dekhī naala nā-rasā paayā

andāz-e-bayāñ garche bahut shoḳh nahīñ hai
shāyad ki utar jaa.e tire dil meñ mirī baat

baḌe baḌe ġham khaḌe hue the rasta roke rāhoñ meñ
chhoTī chhoTī ḳhushiyoñ se hī ham ne dil ko shaad kiyā
