subh-e-piri mein phira sham-e-jawani ka gaya

jurat-afza-e-sawal ai zahe andaz-e-jawab

ai zindagi junun na sahi be-KHudi sahi

aai hogi to maut aaegi

nazar aata nahin ab ghar mein wo bhi uf re tanhai

aa ke bazm-e-hasti mein kya bataen kya paya

mile murad hamari magar mile bhi kahin

rah ke achchha bhi kuchh bhala na hua

ji churane ki nahin shart dil-e-zar yahan

hamein jo yaad hai hum to usi se kaam lete hain

dusra aisa kahan ai dasht KHalwat ka maqam

hans ke nahin to ro ke bhi umr guzar hi jaegi

KHatm karna chahta hun pech-o-tab-e-zindagi

kya karun ai dil-e-mayus zara ye to bata

hangama-e-hayat se lena to kuchh nahin
