aagahi hoti hai pahle be-khudi hoti nahin
dosti jab tak na hogi dushmani hoti nahin

sair-e-gulshan kijiye ashkon ki chadar odh kar
muskurane se chaman mein tazgi hoti nahin

aur badh jati hai apna tajraba to hai yahi
dur rahne se mohabbat mein kami hoti nahin

hum nahin ye sari duniya kah rahi hai dosto
jab talak zakhmi na dil ho be-khudi hoti nahin
