bujh gaya dil hayat baqi hai
chhup gaya chand raat baqi hai

haal-e-dil un se kah chuke sau bar
ab bhi kahne ki baat baqi hai

ai khusha khatam-e-ijtinab magar
mahshar-e-iltifat baqi hai

ishq mein hum samajh chuke sab se
ek zalim hayat baqi hai

nasehan-e-karam ke dam se
shorish-e-kaenat baqi hai

raat baqi thi jab wo bichhde the
kat gai umr raat baqi hai

rahmat-e-be-panah ke sadqe
e'timad-e-najat baqi hai

na wo dil hai na wo shabab 'khumar'
kis liye ab hayat baqi hai
