ye kar-e-zindagi tha to karna paDa mujhe

har aah-e-sard ishq hai har wah ishq hai

zamin ke sare manazir se kaT ke sota hun

hai kaun kis ki zat ke andar likhenge hum

ban ke saya hi sahi sat to hoti hogi

mazid ek bar par bar-e-giran rakkha gaya hai

shahr mein sare charaghon ki ziya KHamosh hai

nind ke bojh se palkon ko jhapakti hui aai

maddham hui to aur nikharti chali gai

rudad-e-jaan kahen jo zara dam mile hamein

koi KHushi na koi ranj mustaqil hoga

ab is jahan-e-barhana ka istiara hua
