zindagi se to khair shikva tha
muddaton maut ne bhi tarsaya

itna bhi na-umid dil-e-kam-nazar na ho
mumkin nahin ki sham-e-alam ki sahar na ho

khuda se kya mohabbat kar sakega
jise nafrat hai us ke aadmi se

tufan-e-gham ki tund havaon ke bavajud
ik sham-e-arzu hai jo ab tak bujhi nahin

ye soch kar bhi hans na sake ham shikasta-dil
yaran-e-gham-gusar ka dil TuuT ja.ega

allah re be-khudi ki tire paas baiTh kar
tera hi intizar kiya hai kabhi kabhi

mahfil un ki saaqi un kaa
aankhein apni baaqi un kaa

tufaan-e-gham ki tund havaaon ke baavajud
ik sham-e-aarzu hai jo ab tak bujhi nahin

ye soch kar bhi hans na sake ham shikasta-dil
yaaraan-e-gham-gusaar kaa dil TuuT jaaegaa

tu mire gham mein na hansti hui aankhon ko rulaa
main to mar mar ke bhi ji saktaa huun meraa kyaa hai

tiraa hijr meraa nasib hai tiraa gham hi meri hayaat hai
mujhe teri duuri kaa gham ho kyon tu kahin bhi ho mire paas hai

itnaa bhi naa-umid dil-e-kam-nazar na ho
mumkin nahin ki shaam-e-alam ki sahar na ho
