alam had se ziyaada aur khushi kam
mayassar hai mujhe aasudgi kam

jalae hain diye apne lahu se
na hogi anjuman mein raushni kam

yahi ku-e-nigaran hai yahan par
numaish hai ziyaada sadgi kam

sanwar jae hamari zindagani
jo ho jae tumhaari be-rukhi kam

gham itne badh chuke hain zindagi mein
mere honton pe aati hai hansi kam
