ghubar-e-dard mein rah-e-najat aisa hi
raha hai koi mere sath sath aisa hi

to bhul pane mein dushwariyan bahut hongi
kiya hai pyar had-e-mumkinat aisa hi

baras guzar gae us se juda hue lekin
ajib bain hai mauj-e-furaat aisa hi

use bhi os mein duba hua laga tha badan
mujhe bhi kuchh hua mahsus raat aisa hi

main jis se khauf-zada tha shurua se aakhir
tamasha kar gai ye kaenat aisa hi

koi bhi rang mayassar na aa saka to phir
qubul kar liya rang-e-hayat aisa hi
