ulTi kyun paDti hai tadbir ye hum kya jaanen

kaisa aana kaisa jaana mere ghar kya aaoge

aaina dekh ke farmate hain

us taraf uThte nahin hath jidhar sab kuchh hai

afsos umr kaT gai ranj-o-malal mein

ibaadat KHuda ki ba-ummid-e-hur

sath duniya ka nahin talib-e-duniya dete

mar hi kar uTThenge tere dar se hum

dil na dete use to kya karte

hasinon ki jafaen bhi talawwun se nahin Khaali
