jo chaahate ho so kahate ho chup rahane kii lazzat kyaa jaano 
ye raaz-e-muhabbat hai pyaare tum raaz-e-muhabbat kyaa jaano 

[lazzat = enjoyment]

alfaaz kahaa.N se laauu.N chhale kii tapak ko samajhaauu.N 
izahaar-e-muhabbat karate ho ehasaas-e-muhabbat kyaa jaano 

[alfaaz = words; chhaalaa = blister; izahaar = proclaim]

kyaa husn kii bhiikh bhii hotii hai jab chuTakii chuTakii ju.Datii hai 
ham ahal-e-garaz jaane is ko tum saahib-e-daulat kyaa jano 

[ahal-e-garaz = people with needs]

hai farq ba.Daa ai jaan-e-"Raza" dil dene me.n dil lene me.n 
ulfat kaa ta'alluq jaan ke bhii rishte kii nazaakat kyaa jaano
