miyan-e-kar-e-duniya hum se dil nashad kya karte
hamein wo yaad kab aaya use hum yaad kya karte

agar pahchan apni ek dil-e-viran hai to phir
wo hum ko shad kya aur hum use aabaad kya karte

hamein jaldi bahut thi ishq mein barbaad hone ki
so pesh-o-pas mein pad ke waqt ko barbaad kya karte

bhala ye aah-o-zari shoabada-bazon ke bas ki hai
fughan eajaz hoti hai fughan ijad kya karte

agar hum sarf ho jate kahin fariyaad ki lai mein
to bas lai-kar ho sakte the hum fariyaad kya karte
