sair kar duniya ki ghaafil zindagaani phir kahaan zindagi gar kuchh rahi to ye jawaani phir kahaan

kya galat-fahmi men rah jaane ka sadma kuchh nahin vo mujhe samjha to saka tha ki aisa kuchh nahin ishq se bach kar bhi banda kuchh nahin hota magar ye bhi sach hai ishq men bande ka bachta kuchh nahin

kitne aish se rahte honge kitne itraate honge jaane kaise log vo honge jo us ko bhaate honge

lo hamaara javaab le jaao ye mahakta gulaab le jaao

ye alag baat ki main chhod chuka kooza-gari tere jaise to main miTTi ke banaa saka hooñ

dard bhi gul badan hua us pe is qadar hai nihaal ik ladki

naarsa mard fazaa tak qaabil baarha raat kata patthar men

sab junoon bood saqaafat tak hi kuchh nahin naaz vafaa vehshat men

zindagaani hui ada aise peeth-peeche yaqeen nahin the ham muflisi sab uda gaii manzil yaar haasil kahiin nahin the ham

neemjaan tak chhuta nahin daaman vo rahi gulbadan qaza kaamil
