aarzu jine ki thi imkan jine ka na tha
khwahishen thin saf-ba-saf saman jine ka na tha

qarz tha tera so jite-ji tujhe lauta diya
zindagi warna mujhe arman jine ka na tha

dosti zahrab se ki ranj-o-gham se ki nibah
warna ye mahaul meri jaan jine ka na tha

zindagi tu chhod mera sath main be-zar hun
mera tera to koi paiman jine ka na tha

main ne hansne ki aziyyat jhel li roya nahin
ye saliqa bhi koi aasan jine ka na tha

kuchh teri rahmat pe takiya kuchh gunahon ki kashish
warna us duniya mein to insan jine ka na tha

zehn ki aawargi minnat-kash-e-duniya na thi
zindagi ka bhi 'mujibi' dhyan jine ka na tha
