subh-e-azal o sham-e-abad kuchh bhi nahin

imkan-e-talab se koi aagah to ho

kyun matlab-e-hasti-o-adam khul jata

dekhe hain bahut chaman ujaDte baste

han ai dil-e-iza-talab aaram na le

dekhun kab tak gulon ki ye tishna-labi

wallah ye zindagi bhi hai qabil-e-did

manzil ka pata hai na Thikana malum

dard apna kuchh aur hai dawa hai kuchh aur

waiz ko munasib nahin rindon se tane

parwane kahan marte bichhaDte pahunche

be-dard ho kya jaano musibat ke maze

hairan hai kyun raaz-e-baqa mujhse puchh

baadal ko lagi khilte baraste kuchh der

zanjir se hone ka nahin dil bhaari
