Aah ko dard chaahiye, naghme ko saaz chaahiye

Aah ko dard chaahiye, naghme ko saaz chaahiye
Raaz ka maajra hai ye Raaz ko Raaz chaahiye

Hijr ki lazzaton mein gum hai saari kaaynaat
Mujhko to har sahar ke baad shaam-e-daraaz chaahiye

Kya merey zauq-e-bandagi, chaahiye koi aastaan
Kya meri aarzoo-e-deed jalwa taraaz chaahiye

Zauq-e-sujood kya karey,Naat-o-Durood kya karey
Maarfat-e-Habeeb ko qalb-e-gudaaz chaahiye

Yaani ke ho niyaaz-e-ishq, naghma-e-soz-o-saaz-e-ishq
Jo ho kisi ka raaz-e-ishq, ‘Raaz’ wo raaz chaahiye.
