chaahiye achchho.n ko jitanaa chaahiye
ye agar chaahe.n to phir kyaa chaahiye

sohabat-e-rindaa se vaajib hai hazar
jaa-e-mai apane ko khe.nchaa chaahiye

chaahane ko tere kyaa samajhaa thaa dil
baare ab is se bhii samajhaa chaahiye

chaak mat kar jeb be ayyaam-e-gul
kuchh udhar kaa bhii ishaaraa chaahiye

dostii kaa pardaa hai begaanagii
mu.nh chhupaanaa ham se chho.Daa chaahiye

dushmanii me.n merii khoyaa Gair ko
kis qadar dushman hai dekhaa chaahiye

apanii rusvaa_ii me.n kyaa chalatii hai sa_i
yaar hii ha.ngaamaa aaraa chaahiye

munhasir marane pe ho jis kii umiid
naa_umiidii us kii dekhaa chaahiye

Gaafil in mah tala_ato.n ke vaaste
chaahane vaalaa bhii achchhaa chaahiye

chaahate hai.n Khuubaru_o.n ko asad
aap kii surat to dekhaa chaahiye
