zindagī ne baḳhshā hai zahr-e-āgahī mujh ko
kar diyā gayā andhā de ke raushnī mujh ko
ḳhvāb kā har ik shīsha sau jagah se TuuTā hai
kis qadar paḌī mahñgī ā.īna-garī mujh ko
dūsroñ se nafrat kā ḳhvāb tak na dekhūñgā
dosto ḳhud apne se ishq hī sahī mujh ko
maiñ jahāñ bhī huuñ lekin mutma.in to baiThā huuñ
tere rushd se behtar merī gumrahī mujh ko
is tarah to but ban kar mere paas mat tū baiTh
ḳhaar ban ke chubhtī hai terī ḳhāmushī mujh ko
ye mirā muqaddar hai yā tirī sharārat hai
kyuuñ lahū rulātī hai terī dostī mujh ko
bas tujhe hī paane ko vaqf thī mirī parvāz
le uḌā ḳhalāoñ meñ zauq-e-bandagī mujh ko
maiñ ki din kā beTā huuñ raushnī ugaltā huuñ
kyā bhalā Darā.egī shab kī tīrgī mujh ko
ḳhvāb ke jazīroñ par giit kis tarah likkhūñ
har-qadam pe Dastī hai jab ki zindagī mujh ko
