dil mein kisi ke rah kiye ja raha hun main

kitna hasin gunah kiye ja raha hun main

ye ishq nahīñ āsāñ itnā samajh liije

ik aag dariyā hai aur Duub ke jaanā hai

ye ishq nahin aasan itna hi samajh lije

ek aag ka dariya hai aur Dub ke jaana hai

ham ne siine se lagāyā dil na apnā ban sakā

muskurā kar tum ne dekhā dil tumhārā ho gayā

hum ne sine se lagaya dil na apna ban saka

zaban mein aankh nahin aankh mein zaban nahin

un jo farz hai vo ahl-e-siyāsat jāneñ

merā paiġhām mohabbat hai jahāñ tak pahuñche

itne hijāboñ par to ye aalam hai husn

kyā haal ho jo dekh leñ parda uThā ke ham

itne hijabon par to ye aalam hai husn ka

kya haal ho jo dekh len parda uTha ke hum

apnā zamāna aap banāte haiñ ahl-e-dil

ham vo nahīñ ki jin ko zamāna banā gayā

apna zamana aap banate hain ahl-e-dil

hum wo nahin ki jin ko zamana bana gaya

People meet each other, fairly frequently

But, meeting of hearts, seldom does one see
