ek pal mein dam-e-guftar se lab-e-tar ho jae

hijr ki manzil hamein ab ke pasand aai nahin

muTThiyon mein ret bhar li hai bataun kis tarah

nae safar ki lazzaton se jism o jaan ko sar karo

phir kisi KHwab ki palkon pe sawari aai

hausla itna abhi yar nahin kar pae

yun hi sar chaDh ke har ek mauj-e-bala bolegi

tera chehra na mera husn-e-nazar hai sab kuchh

muKHtasar si zindagi mein kitni nadani kare

kisi ke ghar na mah o sal ke mausam mein rahte hain

tujhse shikwa na koi ranj hai tanhai ka

matlab ke liye hain na maani ke liye hain

agar koi KHalish-e-jawedan salamat hai

ek tufan ka saman bani hai koi chiz

ab rahe ya na rahe koi malal-e-duniya
