Khuddariyon Ke Khoon Ko Arzaa'n Na Kar Sake

Khuddariyon ke khoon ko arzaa'n na kar sake,
Hum apne jauharo'n ko numaya'n na kar sake..

Ho kar kharaab-e-may tere ghum to bhula diye,
Lekin ghum-e-hayat ka darmaa'n na kar sake..

Toia tilism-e-ahd-e-mohabbat kuchh is tarah,
Phir aarzu ki shama firozaa'n na kar sake.. 

Har shay qareeb aa ke kashish apni kho gayi,
Wo bhi ilaaj-e-shauq-e-gurezaa'n na kar sake..

Kis darja dil-shikan the mohabbat ke haadse,
Hum zindagi mein phir koi armaa'n na kar sake..

Mayoosiyon ne chhin liye dil ke walwale,
Wo bhi nashaat-e-rooh ka saamaa'n na kar sake.!!
