ba'd marne ke koi bosa-e-rukhsat dega
kya khuda mujh ko bhi aisi bhali qismat dega

zindagi hai ye miyan ranj-o-alam to honge
jo guzarega wo lazim hai ki qimat dega

farzi duniya se nikal aur haqiqat likh de
she'r parwaz karega tujhe 'izzat dega

dekh mayus na ho kufr nahin kar pyare
be-dili chhod khuda tujh ko bhi rahat dega

kar gai 'umr akarat meri hae hae
ek ghalat-fahmi ki tu mujh ko mohabbat dega

kul mila ke hai asasa mera ye umr-e-rawan
rad nahin hogi du'a rab mera barakat dega

main to samjha tha mohabbat ka bulawa hai 'umar'
kya khabar thi wo mujhe maut ki dawat dega
