hamein bhi kyun na ho dawa ki hum bhi yakta hain

hangama-e-hayat se jaan-bar na ho saka

bas ki pabandi-e-ain-e-wafa humse hui

dekhne wala koi mile to dil ke dagh dikhaun

hazar tarah se gardish mein aaftab raha

ruKH pe gard-e-malal thi kya thi

dil ki rah jae na dil mein ye kahani kah lo

nashat-e-zindagi mein Dub kar aansu nikalte hain

har zarra gul-fishan hai nazar chur chur hai

kahan kho gai ruh ki raushni

jalta nahin aur jal raha hun

tarz jine ke sukhati hai mujhe

bane-banae se raston ka silsila nikla

chakkhi hai lamhe lamhe ki humne miThas bhi

wo din kab ke bit gae jab dil sapnon se bahalta tha
