hona hai gham ko KHak-basar jagte raho

zamin pe khulti rahi hain kaliyan falak pe tare uga kiye hain

is se pahle ki gham-e-kaun-o-makan ko samjho

meri nazar mein dosto jis shahr ke gulzar hain

dabe jo aag to dil se dhuan sa uThta hai

dagh dhul gae ab to dard mein kami si hai

ye gham nahin ki KHushi mein bhi kuchh maza na raha

har gham gham-e-taza hai ye shadab hai sina

bas ho bhi chukin hasrat-e-parwaz ki baaten

zamin se shukr o shikayat hai aasman se nahin

hawa-e-garmi-e-sud-o-ziyan se ruTh gae

ye mana nit-nae fitne ajab ranjan-o-mehan jage

bagh-e-jahan ke sada jamalon se ishq hai

yar ek lazzat-e-didar se aage na gae

ye aarzu hai hazar mein hon ya safar mein rahen
