gham-e-maal gham-e-zindagi gham-e-dauran

husn ki be-ruKHi ko ahl-e-nazar

teri samajh mein na aa sakegi kisi ke ashkon ki qadr-o-qimat

aap se yaad aap ki achchhi

anasir ki koi tartib qaem rah nahin sakti

ho na jab tak matin kaif-e-gham

yahi aaina hai wo aaina jo liye hai jalwa-e-agahi

aadmi aur dard se na-ashna mumkin nahin

aise khoe sahar ke diwane

hum to aashufta-sari se na sanwarne pae

gumrahi rahh-numai ke muqabil aai
