Nakaam si koshish kiya karte hain

Jaan kar bhi woh Mujhe jaan na paaye,
Aaj tak woh Mujhe pehchaan na paaye,
Khud hi kar li bewafai humne,
taaki unpar koi ilzaam na aaye


Nakaam si koshish kiya karte hain,
Hum hain ki unse pyar kiya karte hain,
Khuda ne takdir me ek tuta tara nahi likha,
Aur hum hain ki chaand ki aarzu kiya karte hain


Milna itifaak tha bicharna naseeb tha
Wo utna he door ho gaya jitna kareeb tha
Hum usko dekhne k liye taraste he rahe
Jis shaks ki hatheli pe hamara naseeb tha


Kaash banane wale ne humein aansoo banaya hota,
Aur mehboob ki aankhon me basaya hota,
Jab girte unki aankh se unki god me,
Thoda marne ka maja bhi aaya hota
