aaj bhi tishnagi ki qismat mein
sam-e-qatil hai salsabil nahin

sab khuda ke wakil hain lekin
aadmi ka koi wakil nahin

hai kushada azal se ru-e-zamin
haram-o-dair be-fasil nahin

zindagi apne rog se hai tabah
aur darman ki kuchh sabil nahin

tum bahut jazib-o-jamil sahi
zindagi jazib-o-jamil nahin

na karo bahs haar jaogi
husn itni badi dalil nahin
