ba-wasf-e-shauq bhi dil ka kaha nahin karte
hum hi badlenge rah-o-rasm-e-gulistan yaro
kya kya mohabbaton ke zamane badal gae
zindagi gham ki aanch sah koi
kuchh is tarah se luTi hai mata-e-dida-o-dil
fart-e-gham-e-hawadis-e-dauran ke bawajud
shikast-e-ahd-e-sitam par yaqin rakhte hain
gham-e-habib gham-e-zindagi gham-e-dauran
main nukta-chin nahin hun magar ye bataiye
