apne haalat ki un tak na khabar jaane de
ab to jo dil pe guzarti hai guzar jaane de

zindagi tu ne mujhe chain se jine na diya
ab jo aaram se marta hun to mar jaane de

tujh pe ho jaega ek roz masiha ka karam
dard ko zabt ki manzil se guzar jaane de

daur-e-hazir ka wo mansur bhi ban jaega
jazba-e-dar zara aur nikhar jaane de

ye tassub ki hawaen ye adawat ka ghubar
aise tufan ko dabe panw guzar jaane de

ek na ek roz badal jaega farsuda nizam
zulf-e-giti ke zara kham to sanwar jaane de

phir bataunga tujhe aalam-e-masti kya hai
sabr ka mere zara jam to bhar jaane de

main tere sath bahut dur nikal aaya hun
zindagi ab to mujhe laut ke ghar jaane de

main mohabbat hun mere dam se hai duniya mein bahaar
mujh ko khushbu ki tarah 'shauq' bikhar jaane de
