dil hai wabasta mera hasrat-e-nakaam ke sath
taza ho jate hain sab zakhm tere nam ke sath

us ne har halq-e-tamanna pe chalaya khanjar
yun hai paikar meri gardish-e-ayyam ke sath

dard-e-ulfat mera karta hai tarannum-rezi
kirnen ro ro ke gale milti hain jab sham ke sath

sang ban jata agar main bhi bara-e-ishrat
zindagi phir to guzarti bade aaram ke sath

har jihat se raha duniya mein sarasar nakaam
ji raha hun main khushi se isi ilzam ke sath

rahi-e-zist agar azm-e-safar hai pur-josh
phir to wabasta hai manzil tere har gam ke sath

ye bana deta hai insan ko mukammal patthar
yun rahi dahr mein nafrat mujhe aaram ke sath

aatish-e-gham ne tapa kar kiya kundan mujh ko
isi bais to 'jali' ishq hai aalam ke sath
