"hamen to yaad nahin koi lamha-e-ishrat kabhi tumhin ne kisi din hansa diya hoga"

"dekh kar kaali ghaTa ahl-e-qafas aur kya karte taDap kar rah ga.e"

"phirti hai to phir jaa.e badalti hai to badle duniya ki nazar hai miri qismat to nahin hai"

"dil ki har baat kah ga.e aansu gir ke ankhon se rah ga.e aansu"

"tark-e-ulfat se mohabbat ka likha miT na saka vahi afsurdagi-e-sham-o-sahar aaj bhi hai"

"kamar bandho muqaddar ke sahare baiThne vaalo shikast-e-razm se rahon ka pech-o-kham na badlega"

hamein to yaad nahin koi lamha-e-ishrat
kabhi tumhin ne kisi din hansaa diyaa hogaa

dekh kar kaali ghaTaa ahl-e-qafas
aur kyaa karte taDap kar rah gae

phirti hai to phir jaae badalti hai to badle
duniyaa ki nazar hai miri qismat to nahin hai

tark-e-ulfat se mohabbat kaa likhaa miT na sakaa
vahi afsurdagi-e-shaam-o-sahar aaj bhi hai

kamar baandho muqaddar ke sahaare baiThne vaalo
shikast-e-razm se raahon kaa pech-o-kham na badlegaa

dil ki har baat kah gae aansu
gir ke aankhon se rah gae aansu
