na aae kaam kisi ke jo zindagi kya hai

wo hasb-e-wada na aaya to aankh bhar aai

bimar-e-mohabbat ki dawa aur hi kuchh hai

hasb-e-wada mujhse milne wo kabhi aaya nahin

na samjhe koi us se dushmani hai

jise aana hai milne ke liye wo aa hi jata hai

kar ke asir-e-ghamza-o-naz-o-ada mujhe

ye jahan-e-ab-o-gil lagta hai ek maya mujhe

ibn-e-adam barsar paikar hai

ru-e-zeba ko dikhate hain chale jate hain

sukun-e-qalb kisi ko nahin mayassar aaj

parwaz mein jo sath na de aasman par

is ke ghar se mere ghar tak ek kahani bich mein hai

tum aa rahe ho ki ja rahe ho

ro paDa na-gahan muskurane ke baad
