dard kī dhūp-bhare dil kī tamāzat le kar
kaise jaa.e koī ehsās kī hijrat le kar
phir kahāñ jā.iye ab baiThiye mātam kiije
dil ke hāthoñ meñ ye anmol sharāfat le kar
kyā kaheñ ab to nikalnā bhī bahut mushkil hai
apne kāñdhe pe ḳhud apnī hī zamānat le kar
peT kī bhuuk tamāshe pe tamāsha kar le
ham thakeñge nahīñ is bhuuk kī aadat le kar
apne bistar pe kisī raat hameñ niiñd aatī
aur phir ḳhvāb nahīñ aate zarūrat le kar
dekhiye sochiye mahsūs to hone diije
dard kī dhuup meñ ehsās kī lazzat le kar
