hargiz nahin jine se dil-e-zar KHafa

ek tir kaleje mein piroya humne

taqdir-e-azal aah to bharti hogi

sote mein koi aah bhari to hogi

sanson mein liye karb-o-bala jita hun

but lakhon mohabbat mein tarashe aise

kuchh apni sataish mein maza aata hai

mazi ki riwayat mein gaD jate hain

phirti hun liye soz-hayat aankhon mein

kuchh faiz to maine bhi luTaya bare

ye aaj ki duniya bhi hai marne wali

kya KHak karam hai jo mujhe tu baKHshe

jo ho na saka humse wo kar jao tum

tashkik ne iqan se mahrum rakha

aata nahin sanson mein maza pine ka
