talKHi-e-zindagi are tauba

wo shaKHs apni jagah hai muraqqa-e-tahzib

ab is se kya gharaz ye haram hai ki dair hai

butan-e-shahr ko ye etiraf ho ki na ho

koh sangin haqaeq tha jahan

urdu jise kahte hain tahzib ka chashma hai

urdu jise kahte hain tahzib ka chashma hai

hazar ruKH tere milne ke hain na milne mein

dard aaluda-e-darman tha rawish

hazar ruKH tere milne ke hain na milne mein

ishq KHud apni jagah mazhar-e-anwar-e-KHuda

hazar husn dil-ara-e-do-jahan hota

dil gawara nahin karta hai shikast-e-ummid

talKHi-e-zindagi are tauba

wo kahan dard jo dil mein tere mahdud raha
