dil pareshan aankh viran aur hum
hain hazaron ranj-o-hirman aur hum

ek taraf wo aur bazm-e-fasl-e-gul
ek taraf hai chaak-e-daman aur hum

dil-shikasta ruh be-kal ashk-e-khun
ye hamara saz-o-saman aur hum

ji rahe hain hum bhi kaisi zindagi
zakhm-khurda apne arman aur hum

mashghala hai ek muddat se yahi
justuju-e-zauq-e-irfan aur hum
