zindagī kyā yūñhī nāshād karegī mujh ko
yā kisī moḌ pe ābād karegī mujh ko
yahī duniyā ki jise qadr nahīñ hai merī
yahī duniyā ki bahut yaad karegī mujh ko
maiñ ne kal raat use apnā badan sauñp diyā
vo jo kahtī thī ki barbād karegī mujh ko
us kā dil misl-e-qafas aur vo sayyād-sifat
jaane kab qaid se āzād karegī mujh ko
mar bhī jā.ūñ to mohabbat kī kahānī 'hāshim'
phir na.e naam se ījād karegī mujh ko
