ho gae din jinhen bhulae hue

Thahr sakti hai kahan us ruKH-e-taban pe nazar

achchha KHasa baiThe baiThe gum ho jata hun

sach hai umr bhar kis ka kaun sath deta hai

tere hote jo jachti hi nahin thi

shuur sirf irade se kuchh nahin hota

kah to sakta hun magar majbur kar sakta nahin

sabhi zindagi ke maze luTte hain

janab ke ruKH-e-raushan ki did ho jati

hamesha hathon mein hote hain phul un ke liye

nizam-e-zar mein kisi aur kaam ka kya ho

kahan hai shaiKH ko sudh-budh mazid pine ki

kis qadar bad-namiyan hain mere sath

kabhi rota tha usko yaad kar ke

ittifaq apni jagah KHush-qismati apni jagah
