zindagi-bhar ek hi kar-e-hunar karte rahe

kab mausam-e-bahaar pukara nahin kiya

ek gali se KHushbu ki rasm-o-rah kafi hai

mila bhi zist mein kya ranj-e-rah-guzar se kam

KHushi ka lamha ret tha so hath se nikal gaya

wo masiha na bana humne bhi KHwahish nahin ki

jab se zindagi hua dil gardish-e-taqdir ka

shab thi be-KHwab ek aarzu der tak

is aarzi duniya mein har baat adhuri hai

main use dekh rahi hun baDi hairani se

ab asiri ki ye tadbir hui jati hai

ai KHuda ajab hai tera jahan mera dil yahan pe laga nahin

jism-o-jaan mein dar aai is qadar aziyyat kyun

ho gai baat purani phir bhi

dhyan mein aa kar baiTh gae ho tum bhi nan
