dana-e-gham na mahram-e-raaz-e-hayat hum
dhadka rahe hain phir bhi dil-e-kaenat hum

han ek nigah-e-lutf ke haqdar the zarur
mana ki the na qabil-e-sad-iltifat hum

bim-e-khizan se kis ko mafar tha magar nasim
karte rahe gulon se nikharne ki baat hum

ai shama dilbari teri mahfil se bar-ha
le kar uthe hain soz-e-gham-e-kaenat hum

dhunda kiye hain rah-e-hawas rah-rawan-e-shauq
dekha kiye hain laghzish-e-pa-e-sabaat hum

un ke ghamon ka hae sahaara na puchhiye
kuchh pa gae hain apne ghamon se najat hum
