zindagi dard ka nisab rahi

diya jala bhi nahin jo use bujha diya jae

makan se dur kahin la-makan mein rahti hun

dariyaon mein rahte hue pyasa to nahin hun

sharmindagi-e-dil ko chhupaoge kahan tak

baad-o-baran ki nigahon mein nami achchhi lagi

ye ji mein hai ki mohabbat ka bab likhkungi

hawa chali to bahut der tak ruki hi nahin

bazgasht chaar-su sadaon ki

aasan har ek baat ko dushwar karo tum

nahin saqi ka saghar ka qamar ka

jab hue KHwab mein visal hue

tera paikar tera saya nahin hai

rasm-e-duniya ko nibhate jaiye
