kabhi ziyaada kabhi kam raha hai aankhon mein

zindagi humse tere naz uThae na gae

suKHan raaz-e-nashat-o-gham ka parda ho hi jata hai

ek raat aapne ummid pe kya rakkha hai

un se milte the to sab kahte the kyun milte ho

mera zamir bahut hai mujhe saza ke liye

koi to aa ke rula de ki hans raha hun main

aage aage koi mishal si liye chalta tha

kitab-e-husn hai tu mil khuli kitab ki tarah

shab o roz jaise Thahar gae koi naz hai na niyaz hai

us ka hona bhi bhari bazm mein hai wajh-e-sukun
