khabar bhi hai ye khirad aag ke putle junun ke zer-e-asar rahe hain
saron pe suraj uthane wale khud apne sae se dar rahe hain

sukun se marte hain marne wale jinhen ujalon ki hai tamanna
yahi bahut hai ki su-e-maqtal charagh-e-sham-o-sahar rahe hain

unhen bharosa do zindagi ka jinhen mohabbat hai zindagi se
ajal ke hum naqsh-e-pa pe chal kar fana ki had se guzar rahe hain

rah-e-wafa mein jo badh chuke hain wo panw pichhe na hat sakenge
tum apne hadd-e-sitam se guzro hamein jo karna hai kar rahe hain

bajae zahrab kis ne saqi bhare hain amrit se jam-o-saghar
ki log aab-e-hayat pi kar qaza se pahle hi mar rahe hain
