Butkhana tod dal diye masjid ko dhaiye
Dil ko na todiye ye khuda ka maqam hai
بتخانہ توڑ ڈالیے مسجد کو ڈھائیے
دل کو نہ توڑیے یہ خدا کا مقام ہے
बुत-ख़ाना तोड़ डालिए मस्जिद को ढाइए
दिल को न तोड़िए ये ख़ुदा का मक़ाम है

کتنا حسین گناہ کیے جا رہا ہوں میں

दिल में किसी के राह किए जा रहा हूँ मैं

कितना हसीं गुनाह किए जा रहा हूँ मैं

Mai pi ke jo girta hai to lete hain use thaam..
Nazron se gira jo usey phir kisne sambhala..
میں پی کے جو گرتا ہے تو لیتے ہیں اسے تھام
نظروں سے گرا جو اسے پھر کسنے سمبھالا
मय पी के जो गिरता है तो लेते हैं उसे थाम
नज़रों से गिरा जो उसे फिर किस ने सँभाला

हज़ारों साल नर्गिस अपनी बे-नूरी पे रोती है
बड़ी मुश्किल से होता है चमन में दीदा-वर पैदा

Hoti nahi dua qubool tark-e-ishq ki..

Dil chahta na ho.. toh dua mein asar kahan..

ہوتی نہیں قبول دوا ترک عشق کی 

دل چاہتا نا ہو تو دوا میں اثر کہاں 

होती नहीं क़ुबूल दुआ तर्क-ए-इश्क़ की

दिल चाहता न हो तो ज़बाँ में असर कहाँ
