azab hum pe jo nazil hua khuda se na tha
ki tu raza se muqaddar hua qaza se na tha

ye haal-e-zar to aashob-e-agahi se hua
ki gul-darida-jigar mauja-e-saba se na tha

khandar to shahr-e-dil andar ke zalzalon se hua
ye zulm teri jafa ya teri wafa se na tha

bikhre gae gul-e-nazuk hawa ke jhonke se
gila jo tha to nazakat se tha hawa se na tha

dil-o-dimagh pe tha ikhtiyar hum ko bhi
hayat par ye tasarruf tera sada se na tha

teri hayat khilauna bani muqaddar ka
sabab ye hai ki tera rabta khuda se na tha

mujhe to jo bhi mila aaina-ba-dast mila
main jabr-e-ghair se tha khud-nigar ana se na tha
