sham-e-gham aur sitaron ke siwa
ji sake hum na sahaaron ke siwa

talkhi-e-akhir-e-shab kaun sahe
hijr mein dard ke maron ke siwa

be-rukhi bhi to baja hai lekin
phul kya chiz hain kharon ke siwa

kis ko fursat hai ki ho sair-e-chaman
mah-ru shola-eazaron ke siwa

rang duniya mein kai aur bhi hain
bahki bahki si bahaaron ke siwa

jaane jannat mein bhi kya rakkha hai
aise hi shokh nazaron ke siwa

zindagi sab ko sada deti hai
han magar arz-guzaron ke siwa
