dard-o-gham aur bhi hain ranj-o-tab aur bhi hain
qalb zinda ho to saman-e-tarab aur bhi hain

bankpan in mein magar zauq-e-junun ka sa kahan
daftar-e-aql mein go zist ke dhab aur bhi hain

teri nazron hi pe ilzam nahin hai ai dost
kuchh meri khana-kharabi ke sabab aur bhi hain

azmat-e-chaak-e-gareban se to inkar nahin
wahshat-e-dil ke taqaze magar ab aur bhi hain

ghuncha-o-shisha-o-saghar hi pe mauquf nahin
dil ke nam aur bhi hain dil ke laqab aur bhi hain

ai kham-e-gesu-e-jaanan mein ulajhne walo
masale dahr mein tashrih-talab aur bhi hain

dil ka khun hona bhi ek amr-e-tajjub hai magar
ishq mein aise maqamat-e-ajab aur bhi hain

subh-e-nau un pe bhi kuchh lutf-o-karam ho jae
justuju mein teri gham-dida-e-shab aur bhi hain

mere hi nalon pe wo chin-ba-jabin hote hain
warna mahfil mein kai nala-ba-lab aur bhi hain

'mansha' ek tum hi nahin ho gham-e-hasti ke shikar
kitne arbab-e-fan-o-ilm-o-adab aur bhi hain
