dekha hai zindagi ko kuchh itne qarib se
chehre tamam lagne lage hain ajib se

ai ruh-e-asr jag kahan so rahi hai tu
aawaz de rahe hain payambar salib se

is rengti hayat ka kab tak uthaen bar
bimar ab ulajhne lage hain tabib se

har gam par hai majma-e-ushshaq muntazir
maqtal ki rah milti hai ku-e-habib se

is tarah zindagi ne diya hai hamara sath
jaise koi nibah raha ho raqib se
