yuu.N na mil mujhase Kafaa ho jaise
saath chal mauj-e-sabaa ho jaise

log yuu.N dekh ke ha.Ns dete hai.n
tuu mujhe bhuul gayaa ho jaise

hichakiyaa.N raat ko aatii.n hii nahii.n
tuune phir yaad kiyaa ho jaise

aise a.njaan bane baiThe ho
tumako kuchh bhii na pataa ho jaise

ishq ko shirq kii had tak na ba.Dhaa
yuu.N na chhup hamase Kudaa ho jaise

% shirq: to compete with God, to badmouth God

maut bhii aa_ii to is naaz ke saath
mujhape ehasaan kiyaa ho jaise

zi.ndagii biit rahii hai 'daanish'
ek be-zurm sazaa ho jaise
