aaj mai-khane mein barkat hi sahi
mai-kasho aao ibaadat hi sahi

chahiye kuchh to pa-e-nazr-e-karam
ai gunahgar nadamat hi sahi

mani-e-husn samajh lenge kabhi
abhi mahwiyyat-e-surat hi sahi

zindagi maut se behtar hai zarur
hai musibat to musibat hi sahi

na sahi bar-taraf ai husn abhi
chaar din ki hamein rukhsat hi sahi

hai hamein apni mohabbat se gharaz
un ko nafrat hai to nafrat hi sahi

zindagi kat to rahi hai 'natiq'
khair ghurbat hai to ghurbat hi sahi
