tul-e-gham-e-hayat se ghabra na ai jigar

sehn-e-chaman ko apni bahaaron pe naz tha

meri zindagi to guzri tere hijr ke sahaare

sab ko mara jigar ke sheron ne

meri barbaadiyan durust magar

taswir ke do ruKH hain jaan aur gham-e-jaanan

aabaad agar na dil ho to barbaad kijiye

ab to ye bhi nahin raha ehsas

phul khile hain gulshan gulshan

wo chiz kahte hain firdaus-e-gum-shuda jis ko

wahi hai zindagi lekin jigar ye haal hai apna

har taraf chha gae paigham-e-mohabbat ban kar

ye misra kash naqsh-e-har-dar-o-diwar ho jae

barabar se bach kar guzar jaane wale

allah agar taufiq na de insan ke bas ka kaam nahin
