chhu liya shoala-e-rukhsar-e-sanam dekho to
kitne na-aqibat-andesh hain hum dekho to

koi shikwa hai na fariyaad na gham dekho to
jaane ab kaun si manzil pe hain hum dekho to

ranj-o-alam ki jalti hui dopahron mein
tum bhi chal kar kabhi do-chaar qadam dekho to

dubi dubi si nazar aati hai kyon nabz-e-hayat
aaj kya baat hai kyon dard hai kam dekho to

dida-o-dil mein liye phirte hain hum aag hi aag
tum ko andaz-e-taghaful ki qasam dekho to

kya kisi rind ka dil tod diya zahid ne
kyon larazne lagi diwar-e-haram dekho to

hum se tamir-e-zamana hai hamin par yaro
tode jate hain zamane ke sitam dekho to

un ko ehsas hai aksar meri barbaadi ka
kis bulandi pe hai ab qismat-e-gham dekho to
