Raabta Laakh Sahi..

Raabta laakh sahi qaafla saalar ke saath
Hum ko chalna hai magar waqt ki raftar ke saath,

Ghum lagay rehtay har aan khushi ke peechay
Dushmani dhoop ki hai saaya-e-deewar ke saath,

Kis tarah apni muhabbat ki main takmeel karoon
Ghum-e-hasti bhi tu shaamil hai ghum-e-yaar ke saath,

Lafz chunta hoon tu mafhoom badal jata hai
Ek na ek khof bhi hai jurrat-e-izhaar ke saath,

Baksh de mujhko bhi aezaaz-e-maseeh-o-manzoor
Main ne bhi pyar kiya hai rasn-o-daar ke saath,

Dushmani mujh se kayay ja magar apna ban kar
Jaan lay lay meri, Sayyad! Magar pyar ke saath....
