suna to hai ki kabhi be-niyaz-e-gham thi hayat

har nala tere dard se ab aur hi kuchh hai

ab aksar chup chup se rahen hain yunhi kabhu lab kholen hain

dete hain jam-e-shahadat mujhe malum na tha

kami na ki tere wahshi ne KHak uDane mein

gham tera jalwa-gah-e-kaun-o-makan hai ki jo tha

har uqda-e-taqdir jahan khol rahi hai

ranj-o-rahat wasl-o-furqat hosh-o-wahshat kya nahin

kuchh bhi ayan nihan na tha koi zaman makan na tha

jin ki zindagi daman tak hai bechaare farzane hain

kuchh na kuchh ishq ki tasir ka iqrar to hai

bahsen chhiDi hui hain hayat-o-mamat ki

ek roz hue the kuchh ishaaraat KHafi se

mai-kade mein aaj ek duniya ko izn-e-am tha

daur-e-aghaz-e-jafa dil ka sahaara nikla
