kisi ke ek ishaare mein kis ko kya na mila

zindagi jabr hai aur jabr ke aasar nahin

jis dil-ruba se humne aankhen laDaiyan hain

fani dawa-e-dard-e-jigar zahr to nahin

rone ke bhi aadab hua karte hain fani

meri hawas ko aish-e-do-alam bhi tha qubul

dard-e-dil ki unhen KHabar kya ho

kis KHarabi se zindagi fani

mujhe bula ke yahan aap chhup gaya koi

roz-e-jaza gila to kya shukr-e-sitam hi ban paDa

ek muamma hai samajhne ka na samjhane ka

maine fani Dubti dekhi hai nabz-e-kaenat

dil-e-marhum ko KHuda baKHshe

aa gai hai tere bimar ke munh par raunaq

bhar ke saqi jam-e-mai ek aur la aur jald la
