abas wajud ka dukh tangi-e-hayat ka dukh

ai ranj-e-agahi koi chaara to hoga na

din-o-duniya bhula ke baiThe hain

taghaful be-niyazi ka gila kafi nahin hai

surur-o-raqs-o-masti, main nahin hun

abas wajud ka dukh tangi-e-hayat ka dukh

jate jate gale lagata kya

junun KHatm hua etidal rah gaya hai

mujh mein ab nahin baqi hausla bichhaDne ka

guman paDta yahi hai ki rahbari hui hai

isi bana pe agar ki to dosti karungi

bichhaDne ki suhulat mil na jae

jazire dhund ke pichhe chhupe the

kamal-e-zabt ko yaksar bhi aazmana nahin

nigah-e-shauq tera haz uThana chahungi
