ab is tarah sitam-e-rozgar hota hai
qafas ke samne zikr-e-bahaar hota hai

khuda ke waste daman ka chaak sine do
kabhi kabhi to junun hoshiyar hota hai

wafa ka zikr hi kyun chhedte hain ahl-e-wafa
jab un ki khatir-e-nazuk pe bar hota hai

wo samne hon to aansu nikal hi jate hain
ye jurm wo hai jo be-ikhtiyar hota hai

main mutmain hun agarche kharab hai mahaul
khizan ke baad ka aalam bahaar hota hai
