aankhon ko ab nigah ki aadat nahin rahi
ab kuchh bhi dekhne ki zarurat nahin rahi

sachchaiyon ki rah bahut ho gai kathin
is raste pe chalne ki himmat nahin rahi

dushman ho dost ho koi apna ki ghair ho
hum ko to ab kisi ki bhi hajat nahin rahi

duniya aziz-tar rahi ek arsa-e-daraaz
lekin ab is ki bhi to mohabbat nahin rahi

arsa hua kisi ne pukara nahin mujhe
shayad kisi ko meri zarurat nahin rahi

kanta sa ek dil mein khatakta hai mustaqil
par dil ki baat kahne ki aadat nahin rahi

sarmaya-e-hayat hua chahta hai khatm
jis par ghurur tha wahi daulat nahin rahi

'bushra' kabhi jo jao wahan arz-e-haal ko
kahna ki hum pe ab wo inayat nahin rahi
