aadamiyyat aur shai hai ilm hai kuchh aur shai

lai hayat aae qaza le chali chale

phir mujhe le chala udhar dekho

ai zauq waqt nale ke rakh le jigar pe hath

rind-e-KHarab-haal ko zahid na chheD tu

ek patthar pujne ko shaiKH ji kabe gae

ai shama teri umr-e-tabii hai ek raat

maze jo maut ke aashiq bayan kabhu karte

dikhane ko nahin hum muztarib haalat hi aisi hai

ehsan na-KHuda ka uThae meri bala

hum nahin wo jo karen KHun ka dawa tujh par

kal jahan se ki uTha lae the ahbab mujhe

be-qarari ka sabab har kaam ki ummid hai

naz hai gul ko nazakat pe chaman mein ai zauq

din kyon ki na wo dagh-e-alam aur ziyaada
