tere baghair masafat ka gham kahan kam hai
magar ye dukh ki meri umr-e-raegan kam hai

meri nigah ki wusat bhi is mein shamil kar
meri zamin pe tera ye aasman kam hai

tujhe khabar bhi kahan hai mere iradon ki
tu meri sochti aankhon ka raaz-dan kam hai

isi se ho gae manus tairan-e-chaman
wo jo ki bagh ka dushman hai baghban kam hai

agarche shahr mein phaili kahaniyan hain bahut
koi bhi sunne-sunane ko dastan kam hai

nigah o dil pe khuli hain haqiqaten kaisi
ye dil udas ziyaada hai shadman kam hai

ab is se badh ke bhi koi hai pul-siraat abhi
main ji raha hun yahan jaise imtihan kam hai
