chhut ke ab tujh se ye aalam hai ki rote na bane
zinda rahte na bane jaan bhi khote na bane

shorish-e-gham bhi nahin shewa-e-arbab-e-wafa
ungliyan apne lahu mein bhi dubote na bane

ab to har sans pe duniya ka khayal aata hai
ab to daman bhi tere gham mein bhigote na bane

kashmakash aaj hai wo masti-o-hushyari ki
tere gesu ki ghani chhanw mein sote na bane

dil ka ye haal ki ab zabt ka yara bhi nahin
pas-e-namus-e-mohabbat bhi ki rote na bane

baat banti hai kahin ashk-e-nadamat se 'payam'
dagh daman ke kisi tarah bhi dhote na bane
